Been using the RCs for a few weeks. It's definitely an incremental rather than revolutionary release but there's some nice changes.
MS's faster release cadence with 2017 let them push quite a number of pretty big fixes and updates too, so no doubt 2019 will become essential in the next year or so.

To Microsoft, C is dead :( They don't get that C isn't just an old version of C++.
It took them 18 years to reluctantly produce an incomplete implementation of C99, and only the bare minimum to satisfy requirements of C subset in C++.
This is super depressing, because there's no hope of C being evolved further. Any fixes to the language will end up being "non-portable" due to Microsoft thinking C is done.

Unfortunately, C with MSVC is dead. Personally nowadays I prefer to use cygwin and vs code, it's a good pair for pure c development when I need it. No real ides for pure c though...
