VS is an editor as well as a platform for development and this is only more true with VS 2010.  As an editor there is improved forcus on writing code, understanding code, navigating and publishing code.

 

VS Shell has been completely rewritten using WPF extending huge benefits.  The start page has been rewritten using XAML, so it is easy to customize.

 

Support new support for Silverlight, MFC, F# , Azure and extended support for Office 2010, Sharepoint.

 

Has a good Extension Manager as well.

 

Enjoy Coding !!!
