Yeah, so it takes longer to start up Dev10 (that's fair enough now it's mixed mode app etc). It's OK with C# console apps and imperative style WPF coding but the WPF designer is still soooo slow.

Please make sure to see this post from the WPF Designer forum to learn how to set a regkey and get better startup perf with Beta2:

I've loving VS 2010 so far. I use it for all but "production" stuff (I'm the only one using it so far).

I'm working with VS2010 Beta 2 since it's release. I use it to build the sample apps of my upcoming Silverlight 4 Book. While Beta 1 wasn't really good, I was very impressed by the performance and stability of Beta 2. Ok, sometimes it crashes and the WPF and Silverlight-Designer could be a little bit faster, but hey, it's a Beta Version. And for that it's really more stable and fast than I would expect.

I like the new dev environment and I have forgiven it for being sluggish as I figured its beta and performance tweaks come last. I am hoping the that there will be big boosts by the final release though because I have noticed a slow down in general usage. My dev comp gobbles up vs 2008 but 2010 makes me think I need an upgrade. Fingers crossed!

At the end of the day Visual Studio is a text editor.  I use it to write code.  If it can't keep up with me as I type, it is worthless, regardless of how many other features it may/may not have.  That is the case for me right now with Beta 2.  Also, although I couldn't live without Intellisense, I also can't live with the "blinking" every time I hit a key as it filters the result.  This was not the case in VS 2008.  All in all, I love everything else about VS 2010 but the text editor.  Since I use it to....write code....that'd be a problem.
