Visual Studio 2015 is now in CTP 5 and includes improvements to the code editor like new refactorings and live code analysis. Debugging has also been enhanced with an improved breakpoint experience and timeline tool for WPF apps. Smart unit tests can now generate tests from existing code. The .NET Framework is gradually being open sourced on GitHub and .NET Core focuses on the essential parts that run cross-platform on Windows, Linux and Mac. Sasha Goldshtein is available to answer any other questions.
