I think VS2005 is Heads and Shoulders above VS2003. There's a few quirks with the Forms designer and build state, but other than that, nothing bad springs to mind. (Presuming you have GB's of RAM... anything less than 1GB is torture)

Is anyone else dissatisfiedIs anyone else dissatisfied with the tools for VS2005. I have been using VS2005 for about 10 months and find it very buggy. I also had the misfortune to use SQL Server 2005 SSIS which was a most regrettable experience. Microsoft being Microsoft, there is no service pack and they are forging ahead with .NET 3.0 without a care to their current toolset being riddled with bugs. Does everyone use VS 2005 or is there maybe a better alternative to this way of developing. I love the framework but hate the tools.
