Keep old Visual Studio 2012 Updates available for download (e.g. Update 1)
When Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 was released, all traces of Update 1 were removed from the Microsoft site. That means no one can downgrade in case of a major regression, unless they happened to download the software during the short few months Update 1 was available. This, combined with the lack of ISO download, makes it impossible to support a stable, consistent set of tools, when adding a new workstation to your team. If I want to keep using Update 1 I have no choice but to find the download from unofficial sources.
Please, Microsoft, keep all 2012 Updates…

using Command line executing automated test case in a test suite(MTM) based on the order in MTM
Using below command im able to execute automated test case in a test plan(MTM)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\TCM.exe" ru
n /create "/title:XXAutomation" /planid:17 /suiteid:528 /configid:3 /co
llection:http://***:8080/tfs/***/teamproject:XX"/setti
ngsname:Automation default" /builddir:C:\Share\xx\XX_20130515.3 "/test
environment:Naren's" /includeHowever
These test cases are executing based on the test ID(ascending) not by order of test cases in MTM.
It would be good if you provide a option to run test cases in a test suite according to MTM order

Enhance the Cloud TFS Git Support
Guys, it was really great move for VS team to support git, But the current Git support is very primitive.
I can't connect to TFS Projects with other IDE's or Non-TFS Build server's for our mobile development. It's becoming a hindrance to continue.
Requesting you to support the Git Eco-System, not that i don't want to use TFS. We do use TFS and other tools as well for different purposes.

Add Simultaneous Multi-Caret editing to Visual Studio
Simultaneously edit in more than one location in the editor.
If you've ever ran into a case where you wanted to quickly change variable names or multiple loop conditions - you should be able to set more than one caret on screen and simultaneously edit/type/move all of them together
An extension that does this can be found on the gallery:

Fix HTML5 validation for data attributes
Valid HTML5 data attributes:
1. data-isnewuser="data-isnewuser"
2. data-isnewuserVisual Studio allows 1 but warns about 2: "Warning Validation (HTML5): This attribute name must be followed by an equal (=) sign and a value. If the value is in quotation marks, the quotation marks must match."
That warning is wrong. And 2 is preferable as it simplifies the markup.
See:

Lots of Improvements needed on the XAML Webview control on WinRT
The Webview control in XAML is in an abysmal state right now.
1. You cannot render any controls on top of it
2. It doesn't pass on interaction events back to the host window so you cannot "swipe" to the next control if you are using it in a flipview.I understand it's developed as a separate window and why we have all these restrictions but then what I don't understand is that it's been in such a state since Silverlight 3.0 (or was it 2.0?) and there hasn't been any improvements. We have developed an entire HTML/Javascript stack and…

Graphs (like Unreal Kismet/Softimage ICE) everywhere and in Express edition
make graphs a viable development solution so that more designers start using VS and enable more "visual" people to get into software development easier. initially by combining graph nodes and later by creating or modifying them.
This will allow for a more rapid adoption of coding, better understanding of structures with less commenting, and promote standardization and thus optimization of basic use cases. Unreal's Kismet, same as Softimage ICE allows the creation of very simple and even complex structures very fast.
Those not familiar with what i am talking about could look here:

Custom AOP Aspects implementation and aspect-weaver using Roslyn
Roslyn is a very open compiler framework which could be used to implement AOP aspect-weaver at compile time instead of using Dependency Injection containers at run time which is not good for many scenarios.

Fix the UI
Just downloaded VS2k12.
Wow......
Please, please, please, FIX THE UI.
I know there's some very cool stuff in 4.5. The async stuff alone puts you ahead. But honestly, I can't even get to it - the UI fired up and there's no colour. There's no chrome. The menus shout at me. It's all been ruined by Metro (sorry, TIFKAM).
Fail, uninstalling.
I understand you feel the need the foist this garbage on consumers, post Apple. But Sinofsky's left, and I'm a developer. I don't need this. I don't want it. I'd rather use SharpDevelop. Or Eclipse. Or... anything but this.
