Blend 2015 - couple questions

Question

Have some questions regarding Visual Studio Blend tool below:

Can i use Blend to prepare windows for Windows Forms applications or it's only for wpf applications?

If yes on 1st point how to do it (how to import such forms)?

If i am working with wpf applications can i just prepare my user interface and also develop code within Blend instead of doing windows in Blend and then switch to normal Visual studio to develop code?

Blend is better for designing, VS is better for coding, but you can do both in each — Matt Wilko, Oct 23 '15 at 09:57

No, it's a XAML deisgner, for WPF and UWP etc.
N/A
Yes. It's a code editor, and will compile and run your project, and you can switch between VS and Blend. The switching experience is further improved in Visual Studio 2015, I personally hop between the 2 regularly.
