I'm sorry that software developers don't usually use recent versions of development toolss, because developers are usually more familiar with older versions of development tools, and some previously completed development libraries are done with older versions of development tools, and migrating these libraries to newer versions of development tools takes a lot of time. We analyzed competitors' products and all seem to be using older versions of VS, as shown below:
Aomei: VS 2005
EaseUS: VS 2008
Macrium: VS 2012 (supposedly, not quite sure)
Please note that VS is just a development tool, so software users don't need to pay too much attention to it. More recent versions of the development tool offer more features, such as support for the latest C++ standard, which can be beneficial to developers, but in fact it can be a double-edged sword, as not all developers know enough about the new features of C++, and therefore it can cause problems in the maintenance of the software. We have also considered using a newer version of VS to replace an older version, but we don't have the manpower to do it at the moment.
