Note that you can't use VS community for your work if your organization has either of 1) more than 5 developers 2) more than $1 mill in revenue 3) more than 250 computers

>more than 5 developers

*more than 5 developers using visual studio community

Good point, thanks. Still close to useless for professional use, which I guess is Microsofts idea.

Good enough if your company has a small but experienced IT department with a few designers, a bunch of front-end guys on SublimeText and a handful of .NET guys.

Same as Apple - they don't have a free edition of the MacBook Pro. ;-)

As a one man shop, I used to buy Visual Studio but now I don't, so I'm thankful for the Community Edition.

You can, if the work is contributing to open source software.

What happened to VS express?

It still exists unfortunately. I say unfortunately because the multi billion company I work for is too cheap to spend a bit of money for our most important tool if a free gimped version exists.

Mine has unlimited paid licenses with one-click install for most Visual Studio editions. Time to swap to a company that provides better tooling =D
