    Well, one issue is that you can't create SharePoint 2010 solutions using VS 2013. You can open SP 2010 solutions, but not create such. EDIT: it seems the issue applied for a limited early versions of VS 2013 and likely isn't true as of today's versions.

Visual Studio 2013 can be used to create SharePoint 2013 solutions. You can use VS 2012 for SharePoint 2010 solution. But you can open the solutions using VS 2013.

You ca find more info about VS 2013 here.

But there are few posts says it is possible with VS 2013 premium edition this we haven`t tried.

  • While the Compatibility Matrix only mentions opening, this answer suggests this isn't true.
