Well…I think Roslyn will be good, but I think it's reaching to say it must be because the MS team themselves will use it.

After all, these are the same people who invented (and used!) MFC, long known as the Microsoft Frustration Classes.

It was a joke, lighten up. For what it's worth, I'm a .NET developer and think it's awesome.

Well, MFC was actually a library. And I know it was a poor library. But this is a different ball game.

With Roslyn, they are going to write C# compiler in C# itself (and VB compiler in VB). And if they expose this as an API, it's guaranteed that I will be able to parse every valid C# file.
