According to MS it is basically the same as Professional.

It's software they used to charge for that is now being given away. I'm sure you can find something negative about it if you want. It's also missing load testing tools, code diagrams, all the architect tools, etc.

Wow !!
Any hiccups/ issues?
I have just installed VS2013 express for Web and Desktop on new laptop and haven't started using it.
Shall I be uninstalling other express editions first and then install this community ?
Thanks,

If you want to, I guess. Doubt it would hurt.
I didn't bother though.

Only problem I have with it is that .Net 5 is not included.

Probably only for home or FOSS use; if your business is larger or has more than a handful of devs you'll still need to pay for MSDN.

Q: Who can use Visual Studio Community?
A: Here’s how individual developers can use Visual Studio Community:
* Any individual developer can use Visual Studio Community to create their own free or paid apps.
Here’s how Visual Studio Community can be used in organizations:
* An unlimited number of users within an organization can use Visual Studio Community for the following scenarios: in a classroom learning environment, for academic research, or for contributing to open source projects.
* For all other usage scenarios: In non-enterprise organizations, up to 5 users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or > $1MM in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source, academic research, and classroom learning environment scenarios described above.

Hi, I'm glad it's working for you !
Isn't there some difference in functionality, or limits, with the Community edition compared to a purchased VS 2013 Pro ?
thanks, Bill

I don't know.  Haven't found any yet.
The only difference is licensing, if that counts. As an individual, you can use it to create/sell whatever you want. Organizational use is limited.

My question as well. I'm running on a 90 day test license for 2013, but if I can get it for free...

No difference Bill, apart from the licensing terms. Major awesomeness, esp. after modifying the icons to look like VS2010.

I know lots of people do not like it anymore, but is MFC supported or even included with C++? I have never used any of the express editions because they lacked MFC.

Hi Bill
I'd been wondering the same? "Is it just a less restricted version of Express".
But Microsoft themselves have confirmed it's basically "Professional".
To quote:
"Q: How does Visual Studio Community 2013 compare to other Visual Studio editions?
A: Visual Studio Community 2013 includes all the great functionality of Visual Studio Professional 2013, designed and optimized for individual developers, students, open source contributors, and small teams."
Look at the Q&A section on:
http://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs[^]

The individual free Express versions didn't include the optimizer, nor the ability to use IDE addins. I don't know if that's still the case with this community version.
Even if they don't include that stuff, its still great to hear that they did this.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
