I do C++ work. VS2010 is so slow and crashes so often for me that I abandoned it (and, sadly, its limited C++0x support) for VS2008. This is on a Core2Duo, 8G RAM, a hybrid hard drive, and accelerated graphics. I was pretty happy with VS2008 until the other day, when I found that I can reliably crash it by opening a particular XML file. sigh
