I'm actively monitoring the developments surrounding further Visual
Studio development, I also do have all version starting from 2010, so as
soon as something breaks on a new release, we _will_ notice it and we'll
fix it within the current solution file or - if not possible - we will
provide a new solution file ("hidden" in a .zip file) which will be a
extract-once solution for the problem, as we have done before we had the
current default VS2010 project files (and as we do have right now for
VS2005 and VS2008).

Not everybody does Windows Store development or hardware driver
development, which are about the only two use cases where you _need_ a
Microsoft account AFAICT.

As for this point: Trust me, we already had the discussions about VS2015
here on-list. What we have right now _does_ work and satisfies all
parties for now. If the situation changes we will re-evaluate our position.
