MSDN Poll March 25th 2009: Do you have a say in which edition of Visual Studio you use?

And if you have 30 seconds more - a "fun poll" I kicked off a few days back Entity Framework v1 – the marmite of ORMs? A quick poll…

Your Comments.

I still think that the Team Suite version is prohibitively expensive (although maybe not compared to other vendors) ;-)
At least database and developer are being rolled together.

Still think VS7 is the most stable for C++ use. Hopefully VS10 will give some respect back to the C++ world. Not all of us eat pizza and drink spritzer. There are still hard core jolt, hamburger and nicotine junkies out here for whom .net is just another top level domain.

I chose "Definitely", but really I don't, since standard is the only edition I can afford. :-|

# Way too expensive, and also confusing

I voted for "I don't understand the differences...". I do, sort of, but it's all too confusing, really, and way overpriced. Just have a development environment with all the tools in it, and price it so that small companies can afford it without letting someone go!

Visual Studio 6 was a big hit in 1998 onward. VS2003-VS2005 were a struggle for C++ development. VS2008 is just about right except that there a still bug fixes to do in the IDE/Wizard/Form...
