Agree. Also, visually, VS2008 is beautiful. VS2010 suffers from the blues. And VS2012 is really bland and bleak. I have to use VS2008 because of applications running on .NET Compact Framework 3.5 on Windows Mobile and Windows CE devices. Using VS2010 for Windows Forms applications that interact with Crystal Reports. Haven't started with VS2012 because Crystal Reports wasn't ready (SAP just released Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2012 3 weeks ago). I wish that VS2012 can be skinned to be as beautiful as VS2008. VS2012 is so dull and ugly.
