Can't help but fully agree (unfortunately!) - installed 2010, tried it, then uninstalled it. Its unstable and dosent compile 2008 C++ projects, sort of the Vista of the IDE world. Maybe this is the project were Vista developers are retired to
Lets hope the service packs are better than those for Vista....

True, but in the case of C++/CLI there's nothing else out there that supports it so MS need not worry.
As a general strategy, though, removing features is always annoying and leaves a bad taste. IIRC, MS's original announcement gave the impression that this was permanent but then they backtracked and decided they would bring it back in at some stage?

Is this only for c++/cli or does it effect real c++ as well?

AFAIK Microsoft dumped their crappy IntelliSense implementation for C++ and built a new one on top of the EDG[^] C++ parser.
So the effect is: IntelliSense for real C++ got better; but support for C++/CLI got removed.

That is fine with me. In either case I use visual assist. But then again it will be at least a year before I use visual studio 2010. I don't get my disks till the annual license renewal in fall and I pretty much require a service pack to be released before using a new Microsoft compiler.

Does anyone even use c++/CLI?
Wouldn't you just be better off using c# if you want that sort of thing?

Depends on what "that sort of thing" is
If you want to develop .NET applications from scratch, you'd do yourself a favor if you picked C# rather than C++/CLI.
On the other hand, if you need to expose some existing C++ deep hierarchy of classes to the managed world, C# won't help you there, and that's pretty much the use case for C++/CLI.
I was doing that sort of programming a lot some 6 years ago with old Managed Extensions for C++.

intellisense for C++ is a little slow, but hey, c++ is complex!
