SharePoint 2013 and Visual Studio 2015
If you want to setup a SharePoint 2013 development environment with Visual Studio 2015. It will be mandatory to install and setup your SharePoint 2013 first then install visual studio 2015. VS 2015 install .NET 4.6 and it will cause issue when installing SharePoint 2013. As SharePoint 2013 is looking for .NET 4.5 (probably hardcoded somewhere) and when it can't find it, it can't be installed.

I found out the hard way and it took me a while to uninstall Visual Studio 2015 and uninstall .NET 4.6 before I can successfully install SharePoint 2013.
So be aware, the order matters!!!!
