Stop it already Visual Studio 2012!

I don't hate Visual Studio 2012. In fact, I love it. I also love Metro style apps and have been quietly working on one. The first version of the application is even in the Store.

The disappointment is that almost every step of the way while creating this application, i'm met with resistance and refusal by Visual Studio 2012. There is nothing worse than an IDE that crashes and prevents you from accomplishing the work you need to finish. What's worse is when some functionality used to work but an update to the IDE introduces a problem.

On the surface, the Visual Studio 2012 July Update seems to make the IDE speedy, which is always a great thing. However, its things like this, things that used to work but now don't, that just make me want to bang my head against the keyboard!

Come on guys! Stop breaking things that used to work!
