I think our SSRS reports are till that version. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If it was all up to me, that's the version I'd still be using.

My only real complaint with VS2015 when I use it is the find/replace handling. Some items in the little palette only turn on/off with mouse clicks, even though there are hot keys displayed in the tooltips. Conversely, other items turn on/off only with the hot key, and don't respond to mouse clicks. Worst of all, they changed the regular expression syntax to follow .NET. The old syntax, while non-standard, made it easy to match white space, identifiers, numbers, and strings readily with only a couple keystrokes. Now you have to remember a long drawn-out pattern, and if you get a single character wrong, it spawns SkyNet.

So you are a C# developer, but you want resources (images and icons), so you need a simple resource editor, just the one you had in Visual Studio since 2003 at least...
Now you have to install the C++ package too (they put it there)... Except of course if you know which individual component contains the editor you need...

That doesn't bother me: it was never a good editor anyway!
I use a combination of PaintShop Pro and Greenfish Icon Editor myself.

I've been using Paintshop Pro since V2 or 3 - early 90's anyway - and am used to "how it thinks", so trying to do anything significant with the VS offering was an exercise in frustration. Mind you, so was using PSP after Corel bought it...

I have to admit, I have dropped Photoshop and Illustrator in favour of these: Affinity Designer[^] and Affinity Photo[^]. I got sick of the Adobe subscription model. Fortunately I got out before they upped the prices again because the pound is tanking.

It locks a lot of things... a big problem when trying to do some work...
To disable it go to Send Feedback (next to the notification flag)->Settings and pick 'No,...'

Go on a quest to Mordor?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I didn't need to bother with the 4 hour alarm clock today then  .
Well done, over to you for tomorrow's CCC.
Edit: it just occurs to me that I should've added 'slightly confused' or similar to reference the reordering of the R and the E. So extra well done for getting it!
