Well Visual Studio 2013 is released.

I understand that Edit and Continue is fixed for 64 bit. (though is sounds like not completely)

We need a lab rat to try it out and tell us what works and what doesn't. Any takers?

It is unclear if it works in all cases. Microsoft says:

When debugging 64-bit .NET 4.5.1 applications in Visual Studio 2013, you can now “edit-and-continue” just as you do with 32-bit managed applications. In addition...

I have been using the beta version for a few a month or so for development with BricscadV13 and AutoCAD2011 and I like it.

Edit and continue works sometimes, I think it depends on the scope of your code. If you get an exception the dialog pops up and if you can edit it will give you an option. Very handy when available.

There are some very cool text editor features as well, some similar to using Sublime Text 2 -> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2013/07/15/visual-studio-2013-new-editor-features.aspx

There's some new features for the Team Foundation stuff as well if you use it, I think some of the features may be useful in a large team but the overhead/time of just using it for me is not worth it (at this point), I'll just use git or svn for repository purposes.
