There are some updated features in VS 2013. But in VS 2013, you will not find the ASP.NET Configuration Tool in the Project menu that is found in VS 2012. This option is basically used for handling  ASP.NET membership role, accessibility etc. You have to do it other way in VS 2013. This is a difference between them.

There are countless improvements in Visual Studio 2013. For example, VS 2013 performance is better than Vs 2012. I personally experience it.

Categories that are improved with new features are below:

• Visual Studio languages
• Team Foundation and Application Lifecycle Management
• .NET Framework 4.5.1
• ASP.NET 4.5.1
• Windows Store apps
• Azure Mobile Services
• Debugging and diagnostics
• Blend
• MSBuild
• SharePoint and Office
• IDE
• LightSwitch

Besides, you could refer to the following links to know what is the main difference between VS2012 and VS2013.

VS 2012 has full support of SQL Compact Edition databases.

VS2013 has no native support. You would have to use an add-in called SQL Compact Edition  Toolbox.

Hi,

Comparing to va2012, vs2013 provides more support to HTML5, CSS, intellisense is available, supports Office 365 Cloud Business application development. And if you have win 8.1 or higher you can option to build store apps. And also vs 2015 brings support for MVC 5 and .Net 4.5. 

If you have vs 2012 then you might have difficulties to open files created by vs2015 or vs2013. 

I am now working with vs 2015 community, which provides more development tools and also has much more support and compatibility with win 8, 10.

It is true that with vs2015 there are some changes and that some tools are not the same as in VS2012 or VS 2013 and yet it has new features that allows you to develop a lot different applications and software.
