Wow, this is awesome news! I know there are many others besides myself who want SASS support in VS. Thanks!!

Any plans for powershell support in the IDE? I regularly create .ps1 scripts for builds, deploys, maintenance tasks, kicking off tests, rebuilding my database, or automating some ops type stuff and i keep them as part of my VS solution. It would be great if there were a PowerShell editor built-in to Visual Studio. First class, like LESS, javascript, c#, etc.

My team also uses PowerShell modules to add custom scaffolding to our project. So features along those lines would be cool.

I like how you guys are embracing tools and frameworks that the web comes up with. Along those lines, one of the places i feel your stack is lagging is testing. I never use MSTest because it is very slow, but i saw some cool features in VS2013 last night with the code lens HUD telling you how many tests are passing/failing. That is a great step in the right direction, but other frameworks and tools are still more advanced than that.

Are there any plans to make VS have continuous testing? As soon as I edit a method, i get a red/green or #pass/#failed indicator in the IDE, without having to manually kick off the tests? THere are tools like this already for .NET as well, but they are either paid or don't work so well. Other langs/stacks have similar things.

Another nitpick about testing, MSTest seems to be way slower than other NUnit/XUnit type frameworks. Slow enough that the speed alone makes me not want to use it.

Just being honest about my gripes with VS. Other than that, I pretty much do most of my dev in VS and I am very happy with it. The direction you guys are going with it is great.

Probably off topic, but will there be support for dynamics in Roslyn? I have bumped up against this limitation in a project I'm currently on and it would be a great help.
