VS 11

Highlights to look forward to :) (or not depending on your personality ;P ) VS 11 introducing the new developer experience[^] [Edit] Editted to point directly to the post rather than the blog
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
While I think it's generally a positive move in the interface, I am not so sure about the iconography. The comment, uncomment icons, for instance, aren't intuitive.

That was my thoughts as well. I think the iconography could work and I see the point, but some of the ones they showed ...:confused: But seems they are claiming the new new users find it easily. From one percpective that is sightly more important as the 'new' users just need to be retrained. The new new users however have no training and do not know the functionality (thus too much stuff hides the good stuff). Might just be we need to see it more to imprint our brains.

Agreed, also next – previous bookmark are also ambiguous and I’m using them quite a lot.

Oh wow. So by the looks of it the only thing they have changed is... new colours!

That will make easy walky talky to ask management to upgrade VS

I would have rather they just fixed bugs and increased the speed of VS than change the interface. I don't meant to be the stodgy old fart but do programmers really care about icongraphy so long as it is easy to identify and is always in the same place? (Oh, wait they kept the annoying ever changing tool bar)
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Well, at least they aren't introducing the ribbom.

Agreed. I hope there's a way to revert to the "Classic" look. :| /ravi

Amen to that. I came to VS2010 from VS6 - 2010 runs like a dog in comparison. Even with multi-core compilation, it is still slower than VS6, compilation regularly freezes up my whole machine and the compilation dependency scanner seems to have taken a huge step backwards (it uses some arcane an indecipherable rules to decide what needs recompiling and when - and pretty much always decides that everything needs to be rebuilt).

I have no doubt that DevDiv's war on Moore's law is continuing apace and that the release version will consume between 2x and 3x as many system resources as VS2k10 does. Meanwhile I'm at least a year from a laptop upgrade and strongly suspect that what I'll be getting (a CPU that blocks twice as hard on IO bottlenecks, and a new battery) will have little relation to what I want (240GB SSD, 16GB ram) other than the fact that it will cost twice as much as upgrading my system while delivering less of a return.

That's a good iDea. Yeah, I know, a very bad pun. Or is that an iPun?

Did they remove that option?? I know I did it with VS2k3 out of the box many years ago. It's how I discovered my default printer was a color model; and the one next to it was the B&W one.

Those fuckers. The god-damned Expression Blend team got to them. It's got the same fucking unreadable color scheme UI! Agist pricks.

Yeah - I agree. If they were smart, then the icons for comment / uncomment would change depending on the theme in use, reflecting the colour of the commented out (or not) text in the current window.

It sure as hell doesn't. I still use Visual Studio .NET 2003 on a daily basis maintaining some older products. It's far more usable than the lump of charcoal described in the OP.

"Dark theme" is the most what MS could wring from its hundu team. I even not sure it's designers or programmers team - seems like one command sometime substitutes another. :)) Definitely, M$ is out of power. No new ideas, very few improvements and doubtful future. WPF is the biggest mistake they will pay for. WCF even not a mistake - it's another sh*ty technology they push in every (programmer's) hole. So not sure how long I'll be hired as .NET developer - time to study D and stuff... :)
