Could you build this?

No Visual Studio 2013 is a large proprietary Microsoft IDE built over many years by large teams, and it cannot be rebuilt from scratch by a solo builder.

What it would actually take: Reproducing it would mean building a compiler toolchain, language services, debugger, and extensible UI shell at industrial scale. Those require large engineering teams and deep compiler and IDE expertise, and the product would also need Microsoft's licensing and proprietary components.
