Thoughts and Opinions on Visual Studio 11 Beta

I've seen much discussion elsewhere going both ways, but I thought I might see what the EE community thinks of VS 2011 Beta. This is a general discussion topic, so feel free to speak your mind, but please keep it professional as I didn't place this question in the Lounge  = )

@Dhaest
Also the way to program async/await in 4.5 is heavily improved to write and understand the coding.
I just looked at that for the first time last night. Sounds and looks interesting, though I don't have a real-world usage in mind as of yet (mainly because my employer shies away from multi-threading).

The only feature I still miss (or didn't find) is to debug linq-query's with lambda expressions during run-time, like you can do with all the other variables.
I thought I had heard MS would be adding lambda debugging. I am like you, though, I haven't gone far enough down the rabbit hole.

@emoreau
Impressions other then those Gray-UI-related!?
Heheh...  There's a black-on-black option too, I believe  ; )

The color scheme doesn't bother me terribly. I spend most of my time looking at the code window, so as long as I can change that, I'll be fine. The only irk I have found with the default color scheme is that MS didn't put any border around some of the tabs, so it's difficult to see at a glance (for new developers) that a tab is actually a tab (I'm thinking combined Solution Explorer and Properties panes here).

Hmmm...  not so much participation on this one. I wonder if I should take that as a sign  ; )

Thanks gentlemen!
