It's a huge step in the right direction. The new start menu is a big improvement.

Start menu?

Doh. Sorry. I updated to both W8.1 and WP8.1 and for some reason I thought the OP was asking about W8.1. Be prepared to wait for a very long time while your updated to WP8.1 takes place - it's a fairly major rewrite so it takes a long time to install. Cortana is very good and she doesn't have too much trouble with my accent which is a major advancement over Siri.

Great, but have they actually solved the dilemma of File Explorer/Manager or it's just a deeper integration of OneDrive?

I've signed up for Developer Preview so I was able to update my Lumia 720 to WP 8.1 last night. The update was in two steps, a small update that took few minutes to download and update that 'readied' the phone to 8.1 and then a huge update that took more than an hour. Overall, the new WP 8.1 is terrific.
Pros:
1. New Start Screen with more tiles (six small blocks across insead of 4) and an option to set a background image.
2. Option to install new apps and move existing apps to SD Card.
3. Phone + Skype integration: You can convert you normal phone call to a Skype video call
4. Music & Videos has been separated into separate hubs.
5. Action Center for viewing common settings and notifications by swiping from top to bottom.
Cons:
1. No Cortana for Non-US residents.

well there is ways to get her if you are ready to change the region and language. By the way how is the battery life. for me first two days it was really bad (8H)on my L1520 but now it's back to normal of 24H cycle

When I have a non-text window (or, indeed, no window at all) open in a project in VS, why can't I search using Find in Files? Why do I need to open a text file first?
Ludicrous pile of ill-tested garbage.
|

When you do not have any searchable window open still you can use find in files. In Find in Files we have option to look in current project or entire solution. You can use Ctrl + F to open find in files
|
|
|
|
|
When I do that the find button is disabled

Thing I noticed in VS2013 recently is that I couldn't drag a text file into the editor. Not very good.

strange I've just managed to drag a text file into it...
|

Yes, I find it hard to believe this isn't supported. In which case, it's probably just my stupid computer then.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I just tried it in VS2010 and it works fine, from the menu, from the keyboard, from the search pane.
That's in the design view of a WinForms form, the Resources page, even the Properties page.

Excuse the long delay in responding, but a) I wanted to have VS in front of me to accurately reproduce the steps and b) I was having a small breakdown
IN VS2010 open or create a wpf project
Open some xaml - viewing the Design not the Xaml
Ctrl-Shift-F
The find and replace dialog appears, with the Find All button disabled.
The same happens if, for example, I have my memory profiler open and active in a tab
Or if I have nothing open in any tab

Happy birthday Ravi! More birthdays to come..
Good decision for you. Beware of the downvoters. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Happy Birthday, Ravi !
Curiosity, and the desire to continually learn, are, I believe, among the best of life's appetites:
"I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.' As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.' " Vincent Van Gogh
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges
