For VS 2013, there where a lot of great extensions for VS designed to improve the front end web development experience (ie. things like LESS, SASS, Typescript) and also nuget for managing client side JS/CSS libraries.

These became deprecated when 2015 rolled around, as the advice became to use more industry standard tools (node, gulp, grunt, etc) to accomplish the same tasks.

I understand the rationale, and use those tools now, but certain aspects are definitely more cumbersome now than they where a couple of years ago when you could just let VS take care of it.
