Visual Studio 2010 won’t look like crap. It may still in large parts work like crap, but the workspace area coloring here is pure art. I’ve been waiting for expounding ever since I saw the first sneak peek. I also dig the neat, rounded-corner bevels and the yellow frame highlighting the top and bottom of the active document.
This and the WPF-based code editor, which on account of using WPF and being composable can include custom widgets to enhance the editor without ripping every other competing plugin addition out, is a good start on the road to a good next-generation IDE.
Moreover, I advise that the iPhone software platform must be opened.
Visual Studio is an awesome IDE that allows me to write in an awesome language on top of some awesome frameworks.
Too bad that, when I’m done, all I have to show for it is a Windows application.
(or even worse, an ASP.NET application)

That’s pretty much how I feel about it if I place special emphasis on “some” in “some awesome frameworks”. I wish it was a bit more like Cocoa with generics.
