Мой ответ на Slashdot'е:

That article is the most idiotic I've ever seen on Slashdot....

1. Autocomplete and IntelliSense is evil. Sure, that's why every Linux
user has autocomplete turned on in his favorite shell.

2. Studio can't help me finish my programs. What an idiotic IDE! It
can't even use Windows Telepathy API to read my mind and write
everything automagicaly!

3. Criticism of WinForms is fine, but it is not really related to
VisualStudio.

etc.

PS: I use VisualStudio+VisualAssist as my primary IDE for C++, and I
don't use any code generation or wizards (aside from "New Project"
wizard) provided by VisualStudio. Currently, I help to develop
Code::Blocks IDE because there is _NO_ OpenSource IDE for C++ even
remotely as powerful as VS (and don't get me started on Emacs or ViM).
