Nice debugging....poor resource editor
I'm a C++ developer and I bought Visual Studio 2005 to take advantage of the resource editor, since in most other respects the free edition (Visual Studio Express) has many of the same features. I'm sorry to report that the resource editor is practically unusable, and they have yet to patch it as of this writing.^M
Best Visual Studio Yet
In my opinion, the best Visual Studio version yet. Quick startup with customizable visual settings based on what language programmer you are. I found this very easy to just into .NET 2.0 C# as well as a C++ programmer, and the windows forms designer is very clean and easier to use in my opinion. The layout seems more modern and easier to use, and blends in very well with Windows Vista or Windows XP.^M
Visual Studio 2005 SE Review
For all developers out there, this is a great purchase. Even if you are a dyed in the wool Microsoftý Visual Studio 6ý programmer as I was this is one great improvement. My preferd language is Visual Basicý, and I was worried about the learning curve due to the fact that Microsoftý, has completely changed the way you write Visual Basicý now, but as it turns out there are allot of changes that make writing code easier. Basing everything on the .NET Frameworký, in my opinion, was one of the best moves that Microsoftý has made lately.^M
