If i can ask this here: since there is tons of people that use Visual Studio here i would like to know why i should buy Visual Studio Professional.
I'm using Visual Studio Express.
What i can do/ or what/why it would make my life easy with Pro edition?
And one think that i don't get, i need to renew every year it? Or is it lifetime? I just renew if i want a new version?
The "plugins" is really better or can i live without it?
The table in Microsoft site don't compare express version with others.

You shouldn't buy it, at least not if you're a solo developer or small company.
Microsoft now provide their Visual Studio Community Edition at no cost, and it's a big step up from the Express editions.
Visual Studio Community 2013 includes all the great functionality of Visual Studio Professional 2013, designed and optimized for individual developers, students, open source contributors, and small teams.
So, if you're a small shop, that's the one I'd be looking at.
