Well it already uses Windows Forms - so, I don't think WPF would make it slower in particular. In fact it may get faster with a good fast video card.

What about the rest of the IDE? The few things I read seemed to imply that the whole shell was going the way of WPF.

Yes, they're using WPF for the editor. Judging by the CTP, it's not adversely affecting performance - if anything, it's quicker than VS2008, even running in VPC vs VS2008 running native.

I have high hopes for it. Knowing the calibre of some of the developers, I think this is a positive step.

Just for the editor? If so, what's the point?, Rather, what's the big deal, other than pretty text, assuming you don't mind WPF text rendering.

Nope! The code editor is in WPF too.

Yes VS2010 start page an dthe code editor are developed using WPF. Yes it is sorta old news. I posted about it long time back. ;)

From what i've heard, that's the idea. Well, not that specifically, but in terms of making it easier to add graphical enhancements to the editor without the horrible, fragile hacks necessary to do so in previous versions of VS.

FWIW, Rico Mariani is one of the people behind this, so i expect it will at least perform as well as the old editor. I don't necessarily expect it to become fast enough that i'll want to use it for general-purpose text editing, but every little bit helps.

There was an outcry b/c there was no WPF code in Vista, and people were speculating that meant MS was not serious about WPF. So, I'd say it's political more than anything. I can't imagine what you'd need WPF for, in a code editor.

That was my thought too. However the WPF text classes are more sophisticated than what's in WinForms so maybe that was what attracted them. There is the concern over how this renders the text, I know I have seen some things where the text rendering was actually kind of annoying, but maybe that's something that will be fixed as a result of this.

I suspect that virtualisation may play part of this. Also, WPF text documents tend to be a richer more flexible option.
