I have been developing with VS 2015 since it's unveiling. When I engaged it I was just coming back into coding after being pulled away to manage for a while with a prior employer. I enjoy coding and was really stressing with the total lack of code before. Some mix would have been doable but it took a job change to get me back in the saddle.

That said, change for change sake isn't always a positive thing. Change for cause. The job was one for cause. I jumped on VS 2015 because it was just hitting the street and I didn't want to ramp up on something aging out sooner rather than later.

I've been watching VS 2017 real close and I think based on looking at what is going on in the 2015 platform and the potentials I see this is a change for cause that I cam embrace without hesitation.

I have initiated my request to update my work environment and am just waiting for permission to make the move in the office.

Last night I uninstalled the last of my dev environment from my home system and will load up 2017 when I get home tonight. For me it is time to turn the page and this gives me a leg up for when I'm allowed to swap out 17 for 15 at the office.
