I have to disagree with the original opinion, that Visual Studio is the best IDE ever. It is, if you are developing on Windows and for Windows on Microsoft-endorsed languages. If this is not the case, it's far from optimal.
Come on, you have to give me something to argue with. I can't just sit here agreeing with people. :)
Yes, Visual Studio outside the MS sphere is not the greatest. C++, C#, VB.Net, F# - fine. Does anyone use it for anything else?
The point is valid, even if you have a point in what you write too.
