The general concepts of game and AddOn development especially for WoW, are far more well understood and by a larger audience today, than they were during the time of the original [[w:c:wowwiki:World of Warcraft|World of Warcraft]]. And since the introduction of AddOn Studio for WoW many games have come, and some gone, using Lua and similar game customization methods as WoW. With this the general expectations of quality in consumer level development tools has risen as well. | The general concepts of game and AddOn development especially for WoW, are far more well understood and by a larger audience today, than they were during the time of the original [[w:c:wowwiki:World of Warcraft|World of Warcraft]].

AddOn Studio 2015 improves on the 2010 edition, with an even more advanced and complete set of features, and is a powerful general IDE for WoW AddOn development using a free Visual Studio back-end (much like the free Community versions of Visual Studio for C#, C++ and Web), with support for graphical [[Frame XML]] development. There are quite a few additional Visual Studio integration features, all of which together contribute toward making WoW AddOn development tools real first class citizens, in a world where that almost never happens. | AddOn Studio 2015 improves on the 2010 edition, with an even more advanced and complete set of features, and is a powerful general IDE for WoW AddOn development using a free Visual Studio back-end (much like the free Community versions of Visual Studio for C#, C++ and Web), with support for graphical [[wo:Frame XML]] development.
