I'm not sure of the licensing implications but there does seem to be a free download of Visual Studio Community edition

Atmel provide a completly free version of it directly from their site and this has been available for free for YEARS. so its not too late and Bad, maybe just not as well known.

ATMEL Studio 6.1, all ready to rock and roll on AVR development

Microsoft is now also on board with thier version of Arduino development but if you want to be coding like you do with the Arduino IDE then the ATMEL Studio is the one you should look at first.

there is nothing wrong with the Arduino IDE, but as soon as you want to get to more complex applications you will want something like ATMEL Studio (Which as I said, is Visual Studio)

I've read somewhere (but can't recall where) that the new version 7 of the Atmel Studio will also support SAMA5D4.
There is a Beta program running at the moment...
