>Visual Studio has been the #1 development environment for over 10 years. In the early 90's Microsoft created the most successful programming language ever. Visual Basic, from which all IDEs are now measured against. It's about time you visual studio people take a look at what is happening outside vs.net, by Java developer standards its primitive and haven't moved much forward. "Visual Studio today is still easy to use, powerful built-in debugger, powerful built in help (MSDN) and fully expandable via add-ins" Tools from the post intellij era have that and much more, done much better. Even simple things like curly bracket matching is done better in most tools i know. It's a shame that so many developers are satisfied with vs.net, it's ofcourse because they don't know any better, there is ofcourse the ones that came from the Java world, and thats why there is room for things like Resharper.. but thats just a patch and it should be integreated... it's a shame because if people is satisfied then things will not move very fast.. and i personaly wish i had a decent IDE for C# as i do for Java. >I firmly believe if VS was available for Linux tomorrow, you'd see a lot more software (and better software) written for Linux. Yes and with a post intellij era vs.net we would see even more!
