mspdbsrv.exe limits build scalability on NUMA architectures.
Rework mspdbsrv to work more asynchronously, not to spawn so many threads. Or rework the whole mechanism that it might be spawned in each NUMA node. Optionally extract the functionality to dll and allow using it in process way.

Add "View Namespaces" option to Class View
Class View currently lists projects as the top-level organization, then organizes by namespace.
Add a "View Namespaces" option, which would instead make namespaces the top-level organization. This way solutions spanning multiple assemblies could be navigated logically by namespace.
Object Browser already has this ability, but it is a full window experience and includes types in referenced assemblies. Class View serves a different use case, and "View Namespaces" enhances that experience.

On long work item titles which overflow on board show a visual marker
If there is a long title of a work item which does not fit on a stickie on the board it will not show a visual marker like "..." as a reminder there is more text in the title than is showed.
On several other places in TFS this behaviour does seem to be in place. But still not on the work item titles on the board.

Make Visual Studio web and load test easier to create and analyse
Creating tests.
Want to have multiple load tests that monitor the same set of other computers and record the same counter sets. Would like to be able to add or modify computers and counter sets in one place and have all the load tests use the new settings.
The window for managing load test results should be accessible from the main Visual Studio menus. At present it is only available by context menu or icons that are only shown with an open load test.
Import, export and removal of load test results. These operations can take a long time. They…

Provide an audit log of changes to TFS build configurations
Currently there is no audit trail for TFS build configuration changes.
Provide an audit UI for changes made to a TFS build definition. The target audience would be administrators who are tracking down changes in build behavior over time to changes in the build definition.
The audit log should provide the following:
* the timestamp of the change
* something identifying the one who did the change
* It would be nice to see a summary of changes.A rollback option would be even better and could be attached to the audit log (like it is for general TFS 2012…

Enable azure publishing for builds using Git (Team Foundation Service)
We want to switch to Git for our TFS projects.
To do this we really need to option to deploy to Azure cloud services from a git-backed TFS project.
At the moment, we are having to publish builds manually from Visual Studio.

Support SASS plus Compass with built-in compilation
With VS 2012.2 support was added for LESS, but given that SASS is more feature-rich, I'd really like to see support for SASS (including Compass), including syntax highlighting, intellisense, and compilation.

Display properties of folders and documents in Team Explorer
In VS2010, in the Team Explorer view, you could right-click on a folder or document and see the properties of the folder/document, which included the path to the folder/document. This was immensely helpful and needs to be put back in the VS2012 Team Explorer view.

Allow ability to disable XML comment warning for auto-generated code files
I want the xml comment warnings for code generated by our developers, because it is in our coding standards to add xml documentation. However, we are using Coded UI, so there are many auto-generated code files included in our project, which clutters up the Error List (when treating warnings as errors) with thousands of errors we have no control over.
I want to be able to turn on the xml comment warnings in general, but disable the xml comment warnings for only code files that are auto-generated that we have no control over.
So, please add one of the following: …

c# directly in Office
Office continues to use the dead language VBA for macros. Using the Roslyn project, it should be easier to allow C# to be written directly within Office. This would be a huge, huge improvement over having to write and maintain VBA macros.
VSTO and VSTA are a clunky solution at best, and deployment of Office apps using them is always an issue. Making Office natively support C# is the solution.

Button to filter the checked in / undo pending changes files to only current project files (Eclipse plugin)
Any chance of adding to the eclipse plugin, the same button there is in Visual Studio (filter by solution button)?
If added I think it would be best to add it in the same place and situation when it shows in Visual Studio. In Visual Studio, when I'm about to do any check in I see this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23242740/ScreenShots/2013-05-29%20Image_0002.png
And when I click the button to filter by solution I see the list shrunk to only the files from the current solution like so:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23242740/ScreenShots/2013-05-29%20Image_0003.png
In Eclipse button I would love similar feature, that would filter the files depending on the…

A new block statement conception
It's a bit long but very easy to understand.
The following block statements would have members as well as the objects:
If

While
Do
For
For Each
TryFirst of all, some simple examples...
- the Exit and the Continue block-member-statements:
For i = 0 To 99
Select Case i
Case x
For.Exit
Case y
For.Continue
End Select
Next- an example to control the outer For loop:
For i = 0 To 99
For j = 0 To 99
Select Case j
Case a
Select.For.For.Exit
Case b
Select.For.For.Continue
End Select

Syntax to check if a certain value is one of a list of values using the keyword "in".
This is merely syntactic sugar. For example:
if (val in [1, 2, 3])The compiler would translate that behind the scenes to:
if (val == 1 || val == 2 || val == 3)I know I could create an array on the fly:
if (new [] {1,2,3}.Contains(val))But I don't want to create an instance of an array and call a function. I think the compiler should be used to convert the "in" construct mentioned above to a list of OR'd conditionals for efficiency.
