Re: Visual Studio 2017 is an atrocious mess!
but rather than do that as an update, they're bringing it out under the new name.
Of course....
1) Launch half-assed product early to much fanfare.
2) Wait feedback for exactly how bad it is in the press
3) Fix small subset of the most glaring problems, introduce three times as many new features.
3) Rename product to give the impression it's much newer than it is
4) Return to step 1.
