VS2010 and VS2015 basically have the same (project- and solution-)
format. VS2015 adds a few new fancy switches (like CFG) but nothing of
real and hard importance.
So it's really a matter of "letting the IDE switch the compiler version
from v100 to v140", so let's just stay at the older version for now.

It is not free as in "you don't have to pay anything", you pay with
having to sign in to your MS account, which has already trapped some of
us here. And if you're a developer who (for whatever reason) doesn't
qualify for the community edition, you have to pay several hundred USD
to get the pro version, which is not a dependency or a requirement we
want to impose on people.TL;DR: As far as I understand current consensus we won't upgrade from VS2010 project files away, because it's not enough of a benefit for too much potential headache for the users.
