I personnally feel that VS 2008 had the best icons in the tool bars. IF the new VS goes to RTM with the current look; I will NEVER install it on my system.

Using Team Web Access users in the WIOV group can create a work item and see the progress made on their item without needing a CAL to TFS. If a developer assigned to this task needs to copy or link it to a different item, the original user can see the link in his item but can't view it. I'd like the user to at least see the progress of these new items so I can use the mechanism as an efficient "systems request" process without having to purchase additional CALs.

I have to restart VS 2010 a lot. It'd be handy to have a "restart" menu item that would close it out and restart it to the current project.

add operator like typeof for get symbol as string, i.e.
class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _name;
public string Name
{
get { return _name; }
set {
_name = value;
//RaisePropertyChanged("Name"); // old way
RaisePropertyChanged(symbolof(Name)); // and strongly
// way, with full sypport refactorings and fast as
// default string contrant, compile time inlining..
}
}

many lib requires string representation of property name or method name, and this operator can improve quality

I like viewing code files next to each other because I can't remember every property. The problem is, to do this effectively I have to drag the window.

I wish there were shortcut keys like Win+Right, Win+Left, Win+Up, Win+Down. This would be very helpful in boosting productivity.

Doing this, I can create a new solution with save as, keeping the old one valid and working

I don't like this flat style of the IDE. Please do it more colorful and useful. Also, comparing tool still not enough!

It would be useful to be able to control publishing projects at the solution level - if we could publish all or select a list of project for publish and just publish once it would save a lot of time.

request feedback from a task or PBI or an an attachment to said task or PBI

When having a workitem which is ready for code review, then it would be nice that one can link to the shelveset

Code Clone is AMAZING. I have a *LOT* of cloned code due to an old codebase. I would like to prioritize by lines of code that I can fix rather than clone count. Clone count isn't always all that useful, since it prioritiezes a few cloned lines repeated dozens of times rather than whole methods that are repeated a few times.

In fact, how about this - Clone Count, Lines Affected, Total Lines (count * lines)

DbSet.Add returns the argument. AddOrUpdate should too when only one entity is supplied.

Allow something like this in c#

switch(NumDays)
{
case > 5 :
do this
break;
case <=5
do that
break;
}

I know that an if statement caters for this but i would like to do it in a case statement

C++0x final is out,
please add full C++0x support in VC++ compiler

Currently, wenn an Exception instance has some data in the Data attribute, it is not possible to to inspect this data through visual studio.

Please add a sensible display (like for other dictionaries) to the System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal, or at least a special case for Exception.Data.

i want to manage javascript methods and logic per page, like the code behind (you can union all of them later on runtime
managing js methods in a central page is a big mess!

please include a template parameter for intelisence suggestion on a function writing time.

e.g.:
1. write "template<class A> void f(A".
2. write "&"; it's to the reference of the type A.
3. oops! it changed to "f(abort&" from "f(A".

the problem is suggestions of the intelisence are not included type A.

it's bad for an user experience. I want write through with intelisence.
