Visual Studio 2005

I recently made the mistake of completing a project in the all new Visual Studio 2005. I was drawn in by the new controls and language features... Now I find myself in a "World of Pain"!

You need to avoid it until they have released some service patches / hot fixes. Its TERRIBLE! In my experience it crashes all the time, especially when working on forms which use visual inheritance. I now find myself forced to do all form editing in code. Its just lucky the project is practically finished.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has had the same issues / managed to find a fix. Bill?

Dude, where in the world do you live? Upgrade your machine before blaming VS2005. It's the coolest IDE. I guess you haven't tried VS 2008 yet.
