[TriEmbed] Visual Micro

[Adam Haile]

Yes! I love Visual Micro. I admit, I have done Windows development for a
long, long time so Visual Studio is second nature to me. And I consider it
to be one of, if not the, best IDEs available. (Though Sublime Text is
quickly becoming a replacement for many projects).

It's really easy to setup... it remembers your board settings on a per
project basis, not just the last board you used. You get full code
autocomplete and IntelliSense. Basically all the features of Visual Studio.
Even the serial monitor is WAY better than the Arduino IDE... you don't
have to close and re-open every time you re-upload the sketch.

The only trouble I've had with it is that it takes a little manual tweaking
to get it to work with the Teensy boards. But nothing too bad.

It used to be that I didn't really recommend Visual Micro to people because
it required VS Pro or higher (which I have because I've had my own MSDN
subscription for years) but now they have VS Community Edition (
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx)
which is free and supports extensions, unlike the old "Express" versions.
So now you can use Visual Micro completely free :)

But yes, I've used Visual Micro for a couple of years now and it made we
stop wanting to kill the terrible Arduino IDE :)
