Hi Chip: It is pretty much a full blown version of Visual Studio and is free. It will replace the old Express versions but everything is in one IDE as with the paid versions of Visual Studio. It also includes allot of advanced features not included in the Express versions - I don't recall which ones since I don't use them. But the Community versions are very good and quite accessible. My 2013 edition does have a problem with WindowEyes popping up the error window all the time even though that feature is turned off in the Visual Studio tools, optinoptions tabb groups. That means that after I view the error window for the first time every time I make a change or even hit the up or down arrow keys inside an editor I have to tab out of Visual Studio and back in making editing a document pretty much a non-starter. As with Visual Studio 2005, think it was 2005 perhaps 2008, I will copy a file out of Visual Studio into Notepad and make major changes and upload it again into Visual Studio for slogging through cleaning up syntax errors or fire up JAWS for my demo time and that reader works very well with Visual Studio but unless I buy it my time is limited. Most other things work pretty well with WindowEyes in Visual studio Community Edition 2013 and I hear the 2015 edition is at least as accessible and perhaps better. If AI2 ever fixes WE to work in the editor as it did in think 2010 VS then it would be a solid choice but working outside the IDE is a real pain with no intellisense and other editing features. The Community edition has it all from web to desktop and phone and cross-platform development. My friend is developing a php / mysql website, several actually, and it runs on a Linux based IP server host and he has all the features since he develops it in Visual Studio that is: HTML and CSS intellisense and syntax checking along with php and other navigation and database features. Then he just uploads the project to the linux IP host and he has a mysql / php website that runs on a cross-platform server developed in Windows. I think he is running Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. The new Community Editions are an amazing piece of software and are free. Rick USA
