    After using VS 2012 for a while, I think I like it. Probably the best since VS 6. The UI does not look annoying anymore after using it for some time. Things I really like :- 1. Good Performance (may also have to do with the SSD drive) 2. "My Work" and integration with TFS. 3. Ability to use VC 2010 settings for C++ projects. 4. Better intellisense overall. 5. "Scope to this" in solution view. Things I hate 1. No macros and recording. I used that feature a whole lot.

            I just had a chance to try that out now. It's much better in ASP.Net. It's actually able to show intellisense for a code block that is inside a string in a JavaScript call that is inside an inline onclick handler for an anchor tag. Pretty awesome. :thumbsup: I also like Page Inspector. Looks like you can inspect an element on the rendered page, and not only does it show that element in the DOM tree (pretty typical for web debuggers), but it also shows the element in the code-behind page. :omg:

              Holy crap, I don't even need to inspect the element; it highlights anything that I click or select!

                True, but then again Macro's are useful.

                  When you say no MACROS and recording, are you only referring to Quick MACROS, or does that include user-written editor MACROS as well?

                    Both. VS2012 has no macros whatsoever.

                      Is it better for native C++?

                        Did they add code snippets in for C++ then? I'm going to sorely miss the MACROS if I upgrade because I have developed a ton of MACROS over the years that save me a ton of time. They do things like put formatted comment blocks in my code based on context using the code parser to extract the variable names and return types or Generate stub classes from an interface for unit-testing. Basically all of the busy work that causes boredom and leads to distractions X| Maybe I will stick with VS2008 and call VS2012 compiler inside the project. They didn't get rid of the BACKSPACE key did they?

                          I totally agree. The dark theme is really pleasant.

                          I won’t not use no double negatives.

                            I hadn't discovered that yet. Yes, it's quite a big feature to have just disappeared, but I see you can quite easily convert macros to a VS Package.
