Re: Not anytime soon

I found the 2015 to 2017 transition refreshingly simple. As in, it actually worked and I got a sln and project files which actually built a working application with only a day of cursing.

Unlike every previous VS version change, which required a week of sacrifices, and Glod help you if the moon was in the seventh house. Or did Jupiter need to align with Mars? I forget.

I presume this is because they finally switched to MSBuild, just in time for everyone else to switch to cmake or qmake.

Strange that my other IDEs seem able to seamlessly update complex projects.
