I haven't used the betas of the new version, but I'm not sure I would describe VS as particularly polished. It's better than Eclipse, but IDEA beats it handily.

I haven't used the betas of the new version, but I'm not sure I would describe VS as particularly polished. It's better than Eclipse, but IDEA beats it handily. Even Xcode (newer versions) comes out in front, in its own XCode-y way. I actually rather enjoyed VS as a whole, especially the debugger. But we're talking UI polish here.
