> - add imports from project dependencies

Not sure what this means... 'add imports'? You mean dependent project's
source-tree paths so clients can import modules from libs? How do you know a
project's 'root' path?


- demangling support

Is this impossible? Can we bolt-in an output translator to the normal VS link
stage?


- some special handling for error messages

What special handling?


- integration with compiler generated JSON

What integration is possible/missing? I don't know if I ever used this with the
old projects...?


- better handling of link dependencies

What can't we do? Can we not just do all the same things that C++ does to make
it all work the same way?



I agree, we shouldn't switch over until the experience is tight, but the
experience is close, and it doesn't look like a lot of work to get it there.
There's a lot of missing wizards though for the various project types.


> Do you have suggestions for better wording?

Wording where?
