Make default platform target for executables configurable
Currently when creating new console or windows executable project it defaults to x86 target platform. I think IDE should not restrict people from using AnyCPU mode, so option to choose default target platform when creating new project would be great.

Choose Toolbox items "Version" column should have smart sort
The Version column on the "Choose Toolbox Items" dialog sorts on a standard lexical sort. It would be good if it split the version information and sorted on each portion intelligently.

Instead of the horizontal splitter for the main text window, can we rather have a vertical one?
This will allow for side by side comparison/referencing... less eye movement left to right than up down.

Create an option in Visual Studio to make flyouts EITHER automatically fly out or require a click. The reason is one of accessiblity.
Create an option in Visual Studio to make flyouts either automatically fly out or require a click. The reason is one of accessiblity. There are numerous disabilities that a user might have ranging from nervous system disorders, being partially sighted, or just plain old getting a little shaky with age that make the automatic flyout very annoying. Not only that but, for example, I have the DevExpress and Infragistics full packages installed and when I accidentally mouseover the toolbox I lose almost three minutes on my I7 box with 10 gigs of Ram... because of my disability this can add…

Fix position of CheckIn-Button and Comment of PendingChanges View
The CheckIn-button and Comment-TextBox should not be part of the scrollable area of the PendingChanges-View.
Often i type my comment in the TextBox to filter the Included Changes until i realize that i have to scroll up to enter my comment in the TextBox for Comments.

Select files in Solution Explorer by hovering
That would make the selection model consistent with "single-click to open an item" folder option. Currently there is no way to select the file in the solution explorer without opening it.
It could be for example very well used for renaming items. Sometimes it is a bit annoying that everything opens on a click.Currently also the fact that if you click a file1, hold shift and click file2 to select all the files inbetween does not actually open the file2 is not consistent with "open on single click" behavior. It would be much useful if this happened on hover…

Add a feature to save/restore Desktop layouts
I work on 2 monitors at work and a single monitor remotely (same PC). It would be nice to be able to switch between my 2 monitor layout and 1 monitor layout by selecting layouts I have preconfigured and saved.
Also useful to have developing and debugging layouts. So when I enter into debug mode it uses a certain preconfigured layout.
Attached is an image from another development environment that has this feature. Anders might remember it :)

Improve "Navigate to"
"Navigate to" is one of the best new features of vs 2010.
Would be nice that we could change the "scope" of the search to the currently edited source file only OR group the search results like: first the results of the current source file, than the current project and finally for the entire solution.1 vote -
It would be very useful to cross reference Microsoft Connect bugs with class names/API/etc. in the IDE.
It would be very useful to cross reference Microsoft Connect bugs with class names/API/etc in the IDE. You could possibly visually indicate it with a colored squiggle line with a mouse-over tooltip stating there was an issue. There could be a new tab in the Error List indicating the known issues with links direct to Microsoft Connect and known workarounds.
I just encountered a known issue in .NET 4.0 involving merged resource dictionaries that took me a few days to track down. It would be excellent to be able to go through a list of known issues first.

Can we please have an option to [Look in] "current class" in the VS code editor?
Just like the option to find within the current block, finding in the current class would be very helpful when writing multiple-class DLL's in the same document.

add the ability to template/script adding of multiple existing projects to a new solution.
When creating a new solution I typically have to add the same half-dozen standard projects which contain common code. It would be great to be able to template/script this into an automated operation when a new solution is created.

Click on code block does not take you to previous place in block
I very much like the list on the right, and that a simple click takes you right to the GUI, code block, etc. you select. I also like the addition of the code under the GUI. However, when you select a code block this way, you don't go to the last place you were in the code, as happens when you go there by selecting a tab. It would be much more convienient to go to the last place you were in the block.

add direct support for the Netbeans IDE as well
VS.NET and Eclipse support is good, but NetBeans is also a major player in the IDE space - we use it for PHP development for example. Would be great to add direct support for the NetBeans IDE as well.
