I wish!
It's just that the new installer format is not working with our... dunno, virus protection thingamajig[1], so we are stuck at VS2015.
[1] I sort of [2] understand what is happening (real time checking), and when installing R packages changing some timeout helps.
[2] I'm a Linux user, or have been for the last 20 years. The last Windows stuff I did about 10 years ago on Win2k (also in my then job). Alas, the new place is a Microsoft shop... (but I do admit that VS is not that bad to use, with vi keybindings)
