I don't like the VS .NET IDE. It's not very practical for pure C programs. What I like in the MSVC 6 IDE is that dropdown menu where you can type the beginning of a function's name, and it takes you right there. And the right-click-browse-to-definition shortcut too. In .NET it's not as practical, the dropdown lists the functions that are in the current file only, if you want to browse to another one without knowing exactly where it is you need to use the class explorer thingy on the left side of the screen. And you can't type the beginning of the function's name anymore, it doesn't allow you to. That sucks big time, because these 2 features save me a lot of time when I code That's why I went back to 6 when I tried .NET.
