Then don't use the latest version of Visual Studio. Actually the "latest" version of VS that I keep using from time to time is VS2012. If you really need the latest MSVC compilers you can install those stand alone.
That said, these days my IDE consists of Vim, a shell, and on Windows the RAD Debugger; plain GDB everywhere else.
