I just saw the anouncement for the Visual Studio CTP today, and am currently waiting for all those files to download...
Have you already tried the CTP, or maybe a previous version? What are your thoughts? There is another question What features would you most like to see in Visual Studio 2010, now here it is, what do you think?
Downloaded, running, looking at the walk throughs, here are some of the things I've seen so far.
- Customisable Start page in XAML (don't know if I'd bother)
- Zoomable code editor (I bet this was a feature request from MS evangelists)
- Highlight current line in editor (YES! the SlickEdit addin slowed my machine horribly. However, I haven't yet managed to get it to work in the CTP)
- Stuff for hooking into editor and adding your own formatting, highlighting, intellisense, smart tags etc. (Don't think I'll be needing that any time soon)
- Call Hierarchy - tree view of who calls your method and who your method calls
- Static type 'dynamic' - strictly speaking this is C#4.0, not VS2010 (watch the PDC Future of C# talk by Anders to get some of that Wow factor)
- Generate from usage: This is so cool, you write your test, then use VS refactoring to create all of the boilerplate class/property/method definitions for your code. (And you can generate an entire class from an anonymous class!)
- Quick search - (equivalent of Code Rush Ctrl Shift Q)
I haven't but ayende posted about this yesterday
