I also wait C99 support. I dont care about C++11.

@Marsh Ray:

C++ 11 is partially already in VC2010 SP1 and more is coming in next version. (lambdas, portion of new STL for sure)

Just take a look at msdn.microsoft.com/.../3bstk3k5.aspx

msdn.microsoft.com/.../cscc687y.aspx

As someone who's been using Microsoft C++ since before it was 'Visual' and has been waiting almost 15 years for basic things like standards conformance with C99 (never mind C++11) I find this flippant feature deeply disheartening.

Maybe they think that us veterans are just going to use VS anyway, and maybe they're trying to attract today's young kids (who seem to be those most interested in this).

Yes, we get it, the VS team is out of touch with the real world. You don't need to prove this to us again and again.

Before adding pointless fluff like this, could we at least try to understand why *other* products do it, and why it is popular?

As others have mentioned, several of these promote and encourage bad coding practices. This kind of gamification is usually applied to encourage "good" behavior. Look at StackOverflow's badges, for example. They are there to promote the behavior that the team behind it wants to see from users. There's no badge for "have your comment flagged by 10 different users", for example, because they don't want their users to try to achieve that.

In those cases, they're also an integral part of the product, and not some rushed bolt-on job in an add-in, which only works with a few select languages, and requires additional client-side processing in an already painfully slow product.

Seriously, what were you thinking? *Were* you thinking? Doesn't *anyone* on the VS team care about just making your customers more productive as programmers?

Good thing this was added... VS was too lean, efficient, and non-intrusive before... oh, wait.. I forgot. We're in M$ land where code doesn't need a useful purpose.

I have to agree with Franco Folini. While I'm all in for achievements, I don't think promoting the use of bad coding practices is a good idea at all.

Moving on: "Master exploder; you got building errors 5 times in a row while modifying code in between compile tries."

re: Bring Some Game To Your Code!

Franco Folini — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:22:05 GMT

Several of the achievements are rewarding very poor programming practices, like a class with 10 level of inheritance, 20 one-letter variables, etc. I don't understand who benefits from promoting those coding monsters.
