Unless you need HD space, I don't see the point of removing older versions of VS; they all are supposed to work side-by-side.
If you really want to remove it, wait for all your testing confirms that there are no issues with new build with VS2013 (unit test, ... )
I'd rather be phishing!

Yes, uninstall VS2012 and go back to VS2010, you'll be a lot happier.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Right what I did!

Oh no. I was happy going up to VS2012!

Since I have dated projects, I keep all Visual Studio versions back to 2008. Though, if I buy an SSD and do an OS reinstall, I'll just put on VS 2013.

Nothing is ever really uninstalled. Don't bother trying.

Nothing's ever fully installed, either. There's always something you haven't got.

Why uninstall it. I have all 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013 installed on same machine side-by-side.
I think you have to ask yourself "should I install 2013?", in first place.
2013 has very few new things (for sure it's not a new version worth a whole number).
I found two features useful:
1. Inline editing of referenced type (if it's in your code) - it nice but not a must have
2. 64 bit edit and continue (which is only good if you in win development)
After playing around with it an reading about it I can tell you two main differences:
1. If you want the new framework you must have a new VS (it's not new, we saw it at every VS-.NET version)
2. MSBuild no more part of .NET framework (so the only way to build is use VS!)
I have 20 years of experience with Microsoft - and the last 3 years I'm concerned about the way...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

You just right...
I'm talking about a bad feeling... It's bothers me how Microsoft handles us (developers)...
You see I had lot of chats with Microsoft's support persons according bugs, and that too add to this bad feeling. It's maybe because I had too much Microsoft in 20 years...

I'm diskspace limited, and junk old versions whenever everything I had to support them for is updated to the newest version. Currently got 2003-2008-2010-2012 installed; and I'm hoping to get the last major 2003 project (finally) updated later this year. Hopefully I'll be able to boot 2008 within a year too.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

IMO VS2013 is not less stable than 2012...

Was this intended as a reply to me? I don't see how anything I wrote could be read as a comment on stability.

I probably wont uninstall it on my desktop, but on my ultrabook I will when space gets tight.

Stick each in their own VM. Sorted.

fine on the desktop, but too much overhead for my wee ultrabook.
Anyway, that is just giving in to defects......from an operational excellence point of view, 'tis bad!

I need to convince the bean counters to buy me a Resharper upgrade first.

I am really looking forward to the AngularJS intellisense built into 2013.

I haven't had a play with it yet, but yes, there are many improvements that were need to VS to handle native javascript and html/css projects better.

Installed it this morning absolute disaster!
Even trying to create the most basic MFC program (just the Wizard project output) ends up with a stack of errors. Looks as though testing must be virtually non-existent for native code.
2012 was fine
Seems to be pulling out 2010 include - fixable but a real mess!
Microsoft the company that likes to disappoint.....

I've actually got 2010, 2012 and 2013 installed -- mainly because of other people: if I'm working on their code, I have to stick to whatever they're using... the good news is that all three of them seem to coexist just fine -- no problems yet...
