I seriously can't believe the quality of this product.

File -> Close Solution results in a crash, every time, without fail.

Even just clicking the X on the titlebar will crash it.

Also they've completely destroyed the usability of right-click context menus. If you right-click for example on a Project on Solution Explorer the context menu has a *scroll bar* in a sort of Office XP style. So you have to scroll down until you can get to Properties at the bottom. And the scrolling takes forever, just like it did in Office XP.

Both issues are on Connect but, god damn, how could they release it like this?

I'm currently ripping up all of our plans to port our codebase to .NET 4. I'm sure .NET 4 is nowhere near as buggy and ill-conceived as this; but unfortunately with the IDE in such a bad state we simply cannot commit to it yet.
 
It's been perfectly fine for me, Win7 Pro 64-bit. However I've only used the beta version so far, my release order won't ship until the 26th of May.

What os are you running btw?
 
I've not had any issues at all with 2010, it's lovely :) Issues colleagues have had have all been traced back to 3rd party addons too.

Is the install you're using standard or do you have any 3rd party additions?
 
That's harsh. I haven't used team foundation server, I should say. I've been using SVN, we use it in work so it was the best option for me.

It'd be weird if M$ own product was the cause of failure. Or probably not ;)
 
No issues here but then again I'm not using it with TFS.

My complaint with it is that there are no extensions to support MOSS 2007. SharePoint 2010 is the only thing supported. Not good.

No ReSharper? Tsk Tsk :p

I hadn't got that far to be honest. I was having these problems within 10 minutes of a vanilla install.

I put R#5 on last night (thankfully it supports VS2008 as well) and it's a nice improvement over 4.5. It identifies legacy foreach loops and provides automatic refactoring to LINQ :cool:
 
I've never had any problems with VS2010 either. Using it with ReSharper. Very bizarre that you're having so many problems!
 
I'm having loads of problems too, even with a clean codebase. Resharper 5 totally destroys performance on my i7 (so hardly slow) - and so it's not even on here at the moment.

The biggest annoyance for me at the moment is closing tabs, which seems to take about a second per tab and is very annoying when you want to close several of them in quick succession. Argh :(

For what (little) it's worth, I've always had problems with TFS in VS, so it might be worth disconnecting a solution and seeing if you have the same issues with the IDE.

I really wish I R# weren't so expensive (either that or that they'd release a student edition) :o

Ive heard many stories about VS 2010 and R#5 killing performance. Thats why I have stayed clear of R# for the time being.
 
Installed and had no problems at all, although not using TFS.

One good reason to be doing a degree part time - MS DreamSpark - VS2010 for free :)
 
Been using VS2010 for a while, first the release candidate and then the copy I get through my work's MSDN subscription and it's been nothing short of brilliant for me.

I'm using it with Resharper 5 and AnkhSVN and have had no problems at all so far.
I used to have regular issues with editing XAML in VS2008 (IDE just disappearing) but the WPF experience in 2010 is much improved.

The crashing only happens on projects under TFS source control, from what I can tell.

Been using VS 2010 at work for a month or so now and no problems. Were setting up TFS next week so i'll let you know if we have similar problems after that.
