VS plugin support is crucial for applications like GPU computing or Qt.

At least for the build system I've written my own MSBuild targets for handling Qt which is much nicer than the Qt Add-in creating custom build rules for each and every file. It's not perfect, but works very well here.

The (modest) debugging improvements still let me keep the add-in installed, though.

yeah i agree. I think sharp develop is coming along very well though. It will be interesting to see where they go with it. I am going to start using it for my personal open source projects, but for my commercial work for me and my teams I will stick with VS as we have MSDN licenses and support agreements in place.

Anything you find yourself missing when using it?

default support for MSTests would be nice as this is what I have written my tests in. There is an add-on for it, but it doesn't look that good. Its not real biggy though, it wouldn't take much effort to migrate my tests over to NUnit. TFS integration would be good too. For my personal projects I upload my source to Codeplex and I use the TFS integration for this.

Saying that I could just install the TFS shell extensions and check in/out code from explorer. Its not that much of a hardship.
