Well, for what we need it is sufficient anyway, realtime performances aren't .NET shining area, neither is obfuscation. Guess what? We need both, aplenty.

Still I'd like to go native with a more modern environment, VS2008 is great (but not fully backwards compatible, code written for 2008 need adjustmensts to compile under 6 and viceversa) both at a compiler level, debugger and GUI - I mean, auto-hiding side panels! The whole screen is code unless I specifically need a tool!
