I really don't get what's so great about VS. After using JDT (Eclipse 
Java), I find Vs kind of lacking. IMO, MS invests a lot of resources in 
areas to sell VS to companies rather than programmers. Automatic 
checking against UML models... okay, that's a cool feature, but I'd 
rather it could highlight my semantic errors without my having to click 
"build" or have more than 5 refactorings or have quick-fixes for errors, 
or...
