  +1 ! Stop considering C++ as the Cinderella of programming languages!

  The first thing that comes to mind is the code snippets! Why can't we use code snippets in plain text files, for that matter? Ahh, code snippets: for TAB TAB =>

  for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)

  I swear, writing lots of for-loops drives me nuts. You know, I should put an empty .cs file in my C++ project, just to help me type for-loops.

  Another nice thing about C# IntelliSense is that when you type a word, it narrows down the search, e.g. I can type "Dial" and it finds "OpenFileDialog" among other things.

  But I don't really expect C++ IntelliSense to work as well; it's obviously a much ****** problem. So while a "rename" refactoring tool would be hugely useful in C++ (I rename C# symbols constantly), I can't really blame VS for not supporting it.

  There is one tool that would make C++ far less painful: a tool to synchronize .hpp syntax with .cpp syntax, e.g.

  virtual std::string MyFunc(int maxLength = 13) const; // hpp syntax
  string ClassNameHere::MyFunc(int maxLength) const // cpp syntax
  {
  }

  Also, when I press F12 on a class I want to go to the actual class definition, not to a forward declaration like "class Foo;" - MSFT is making WinCE devs use VS2008 so maybe it's fixed in 2010?

  @AndrewDover IntelliSense, refactoring, snippets are all pretty much missing from the C++ editor. Ok, there is SOME code-completion, but it's not nearly as powerful as the one in the C# editor.

  Should be tagged as C++. What specific features that are missing in the C++ most bother you?
