Microsoft Visual C++ supported "Edit and Continue" for many many years.

I remember using this in MSVC 6 - so at least 14 years ago.
"Supports", "works" and "is usable" are three totally different things. I doubt that E&C is truly usable since even much simpler things -- for example, data breakpoints when debugging native+managed code -- is unsupported in VS2010. (Needed exactly that today.) E&C is disabled also for C# as soon as you turn on native-code debugging.
