Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Preview @ Techgage

You would think that for a .Net developer like myself I would be totally onboard when it comes to Visual Studio.  However, I don't use VS for my development instead choosing to code my projects longhand in an editor called Homesite.  There are some limitations but I find my code to be cleaner and it allows me to code the way I like.

I'm sure I'll eventually switch to the darkside but to be honest VS has always been code heavy and often saves extra files that aren't needed for the project and just add to the clutter.

With the next version of Visual Studio soon to be upon us, we're taking a look at what's worth waiting for. While some animosity exists around certain decisions made by Microsoft, VS11 brings a lot to the table, most notably the addition of a robust environment for creating Metro-based apps.

Gotta love that MS is keeping up and releasing everything a budding developer needs to create applications for their operating system.  That, if anything, is why they command the market.
