According to this page, "Visual Studio Community 2013 shares the same features as Visual Studio Professional 2013."
According to this page, Visual Studio Pro includes the Performance and Diagnostics Hub.
Based on those links, the Performance and Diagnostics Hub should be available in my copy of Visual Studio Community 2013, but it isn't. Was this moved to a somewhere else in the IDE or has it been removed since Community Edition was released?

We've already added the Visual Studio workload Visual Studio Extensions Development, but that doesn't seem to be enough. So, are there other workloads that should be installed on a developer's machine, to author VS extensions?
Addendum
I should mention that the users struggling to add Visual Studio Extension Development are using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition. I would think this would work, but I could be wrong. Can you do Visual Studio development with the Community Edition?
Visual Studio extension development + .NET desktop development workloads should be enough for most VS extensions.
Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition is perfectly fine to do Visual Studio development.
Hellow all, I am using Visual Studio 2017 professional edition. I am unable to open Lightswith (.lsxtproj) projects from it. When I searched in blogs, I received a suggestion of installing the Office Developer Toos for Visual Studio using Visual Studio installation window--> Individual Components --> Development activities section but couldn't help.
Can someone tell me what else I sould install/add in order to open Lightswitch projects using Visual Studio 2017 professional edition.
I currently have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate edition, so I was searching for the Ultimate edition for Visual Studio 2017, but I don't find it for download. The Compare Visual Studio 2017 Offerings or Visual Studio Downloads lists only Community, Professional and Enterprise editions.
I logged into my MSDN subscription and don't find it there either.
What happened to the Ultimate edition? Where can I download it from?
Based on the Visual Studio 2017 licensing whitepaper, and how subscription transitions from 2015 to 2017 are handled, it sounds like the equivalent 2017 version of Visual Studio to the one you want is Enterprise.
I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017.
I cannot find any option to switch on CodeLens. Is this feature removed from this version?
CodeLens is not available in the Community editions. You need Professional or higher to switch it on.
In VS2015, one way to "get" CodeLens was to install the SQL Server Developer Tools (SSDT) but I believe this has been rectified in VS2017.
Visual Studio Community dose not support CodeLens , only Visual Studio
Professional and Visual Studio
Enterprise give this Integrated Development Environment Facility.

Community supported Features
If you like CodeLens you can install Visual Studio 2019 Community
Microsoft has enabled it even for the Community edition. See Integrated Development Environment on Visual Studio Comparison. Most features are enabled.
See CodeLens for Everyone What's New in Visual Studio 2019 for more info.
CodeLens is now available since VS 2017 Community Update 8, but it only contains Requests and Exceptions of Application Insights, no References:
From Dante Gagne [MSFT] on Oct 31, 2018 at 05:38 PM:
The infrastructure for CodeLens has been released in the Visual Studio 2017 Update 8. Please install and let us know your feedback. Please continue to provide feedback and help us make Visual Studio even better.

It can be enabled in the Text Editor Options under All Languages --> CodeLens --> Enable CodeLens
Resharper has "Find Usages" and "Find Usages Advanced". The default keyboard shortcut for "Find Usages" is Shift+F12. If you can live with using that shortcut instead of clicking on the reference link above a type then you're good to go. I've moved the results window from the bottom to the left and enabled auto-hide.
Good enough for me.
For Visual Studio Community 2019 a lesser CodeLens version is available:

Microsoft has published pricing on new purchases or upgrades from VS2013 with MSDN, but I haven't yet found any info covering upgrades from VS2013 which were purchased without MSDN e.g. VS 2013 Professional.
In my specific case, I want to upgrade from Visual Studio 2013 Professional to 2015 Professional. My only option appears to be purchasing 2015 with MSDN, with no consideration from my existing 2013 license. Am I overlooking something?
Update 2
I chatted with a Microsoft specialist. There is no upgrade pricing at this time and no upgrade pricing in the future, "that they are aware of".
Update 1
Visual Studio 2015 Professional stand alone is now available for $499. No word on upgrade pricing yet.
Original
It is now September 1st and the stand alone Visual Studio 2015 Professional is still not available.
I chatted with a Microsoft specialist. She confirmed that the stand alone Visual Studio 2015 Professional is not available and she did not have a release date.
The Buy Visual Studio and MSDN subscriptions page now lists the following:
Please note: purchases through the Microsoft Store In some markets will show prior version products (Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN, Visual Studio Professional 2013), but are being updated through the end of October 2015. Please purchase Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN or Visual Studio Premium with MSDN to get Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN. Please wait to purchase Visual Studio Professional 2015 until it is available; purchasing Visual Studio 2013 will not entitle you to an upgrade to Visual Studio Professional 2015.
The Overview of Visual Studio 2015 Products page claims it is possible to purchase VS2015 Professional without MSDN, but really hides it well:
Visual Studio 2015 product offerings
Visual Studio Community
Visual Studio Professional with MSDN
Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN
Additional offerings
Visual Studio Community 2015, Visual Studio Professional with MSDN, and Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN are the primary offerings in the Visual Studio 2015 lineup. Additional offerings include5
Visual Studio Express 20154 editions
Visual Studio Test Professional with MSDN
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015
MSDN Platforms
And way down at the bottom of that page:
Visual Studio Professional 2015 standalone license, for customers interested in a non-subscription, IDE-only option
However, clicking through to Buy Visual Studio and MSDN subscriptions gives a better answer to your question:
Visual Studio Professional 2015 is now sold month-to-month as part of Visual Studio Online, just choose the Professional level after you set up billing on your Visual Studio Online account.
Starting September 1, 2015, you can also purchase Visual Studio Professional 2015 through the Microsoft Store or through software resellers.
So... all you need to do is wait.
Whether reduced upgrade pricing will be available for this edition does not appear to be answered yet though.
