Sharepoint Designer 2010 vs. 2013 - sharepoint

Sharepoint designer 2013 does not support Design view in edit mode. Microsoft says you can use Visual Studio to edit pages. Does Visual Studio allow you to use Design View?

No. Visual Studio does not have design view for SharePoint master pages.
With SharePoint 2013 you can convert HTML to masterpage using design manager and nowadays latest browsers have evolved as designer tools.
Please refer this blog for further reference

Only Visual Webparts in Visual Studio have the design view !

Visual Studio 2013 feature to VS 2012?

I forgot the name of the feature but I read once, that VS 2013 is able to automatically copy the CSS changes from the IE Developer Toolbar back to the css in your project...
How is that function called?
is there any (free or not free) tool to adopt this in VS 2012?
The feature is Browserlink with Web Essentials. It is not available in VS 2012.

Can you import a visio sharepoint workflow template directly into Visual studio without using Designer?

We are trying to determine if it is possible to import a workflow directly from Visio to Visual Studio without using SharePoint Designer. A comment here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsarch/thread/92095335-3ac5-4568-b87d-bc17d147cb11 indicates that the UML versions of Visio and Visual Studio do not match. Is this still the case?
Would we be able to use Visio 2013 to go directly from Visio to Visual Studio? If this can be done, does anyone have the steps to do so?
Thank you in advance.

create Infopath forms using visual studio 2010 for sharepoint 2010

I have a requirement that i need to create an infopath 2010 form using visual studio 2010.
can any one show mw the way to create that?
Thanks,
Suresh
A requirement? Wierd requirement... You can not create InfoPath 2010 Forms with Visual Studio. You were able to work on InfoPath 2007 Forms with Visual Studio but this possibility is gone with InfoPath 2010.
The code behind from InfoPath from forms can only be edited using the InfoPath built in Visual Studio Tools for Applications.

Is there any updated version of SPSource or alternative tool for SharePoint 2010?

Is there any updated version of SPSource: Reverse engineering tool for SharePoint or alternative tool for SharePoint 2010?
Visual Studio 2010, preferrably with the Community Kit for SharePoint Developer Tools. This allows you to browse in the Server Explorer down to your list, content type or fields, and you can right click and 'import' them into your Visual Studio project. This then shows you the CAML used to define those items.
Another alternative is SharePoint manager - it also exposes the XML used to define those elements - but I find the Visual Studio tools more useful, 'cos generally I want to do something with those lists/content types.
Even without the Community Kit, you can still import List definitions with just Visual Studio, I think.
for sharepoint 2010 You can contact the author, Jeremy Thake, directly and ask if there are any updates. His blog: http://wss.made4the.net/default.aspx and Twitter: #jthake
You should also look into tools like ShaerPoint Manager 2010. Your other cool option is to create a list in the UI, then save the entire site as a WSP. You can then import the WSP in Visual Studio, and get the components you want from there
