Essentially there are some problems with the editor. In particular, it does not behave well when the edition of code cause it to become invalid. For example, if you try to add a new line between existing line but don't immediatly add the final ; IntelliSence would suggest things based on what is to the right of the caret instead of the left.

Also, it will sometime mess up the formatting of next function (declaration) while editing code.

There are also some bugs with generating new methods.

But I find that one of the main problem is that the debugger that is not stable in some cases and also Edit-and-continue that it is broken (some changes are not applied correctly and cause suspicious crashes).

Thus both the new debugging engine and the text editor that is based on Roslyn compiler are somewhat instable. I have used most version of Visual Studio since version 2003 and to me, it seems that 2015 is the one that was less stable when it came out even comparing to some preview version of older versions...
