Too true Mitch.
Unfortunately, most of the folk I know that used to submit a lot of bugs and suggestions have stopped doing so. There are way too many "by design" responses. And most suggestions (rather than bugs) have no response until the product is about to ship, then they come back with "closed won't fix", without comment or even a name of who to talk to. It just isn't a good feedback mechanism at present. I've even had entries submitted in detail, that a bunch of people have voted for, many have commented that it's important, and it's been closed as "closed not reproducible". Again, with the decision attributed to "Microsoft" and no other name present. You'd think if a number of people think it's important and you can't reproduce it, you'd reach out to the person posting it at the very least. I can't make sense of many of the statuses either. I've had another one that said "can't reproduce" but also then said "fixed in SP1".

Can you tell the ones that you keep running into? Or can you head over to Microsoft Connect and file these? Customer feedback is a huge factor in what bugs in fix - if we find the bugs internally but no customer has reported them, these fall in priority against other bugs that customers have filed.

It's looks nicer and is more pleasant to work with. Sadly most of the worst bugs from VS 2008 are still there. Also not much there to improve productivity for coal face developers. Regards .....
