You can map F4 to Edit.GotoNextLocation and Shift-F4 to
Edit.GotoPreviousLocation to achieve this. The only difference is that it
doesn't (usually) automatically switch to stepping through the find list if
you have the task list open and then do a find in files. Once you click in
the find in files window, it remembers to step through that from then on.
Strangely, it seems to auto-switch to the task list after you do a build, so
it would be good if they fixed it so it would work both ways.

Here's one from me:

For some reason, they have changed the functionality of vector::clear() to
actually deallocate memory, rather than simply doing erase(begin(), end()),
which leaves the memory allocated. If, like a lot of people, you are relying
on the performance characteristics of non-deallocation, you could be
suffering a serious performance loss from this "small" change. I was more
than a little bit disgusted when I discovered this. Needless to say, we
don't use that particular implementation any more.
