I would like to vote for VS 2005 but I've only seen it in the Channel 9 demos and not actually used it. (I won't let myself use beta software for development)
Having to go back and use VS 6 is painful but thankfully I've only got one active project that still uses it.
Although I still feel that the resource editor for C++ projects is better in VC6 rather than the one in VS2003 - especially when trying to copy resources between projects. Oh and editing icons is a lot nicer in VC6 too.
The only annoying thing in VS2003 is the dynamic help. Everytime you think you've turned it off, back it comes again.

Fastest, without double-bufferred owner drawn interface, including the most lightweight versions of mfc and atl. 
P.S. Especially convenient in combination with WndTabs and Visual Assist.

Hear hear to that!
Also:
Far better than anything later, for the visually impaired.
Panes that go where you put them, and stay there.
An altogether cleaner interface with less stuff getting between me and what I want to do.

VS.NET 2003 is good in it's own right, but they really screwed up the resouce editor.
If you need c++ developement and need to use the resouce editor, VC6 is the best.

I used VS .NET (whatever the first release was) for awhile, but the problem was that my principle language is C++ and there were too many little problems. After that I went back to VS 6.0 and am yet to dive back into .NET of any kind.

My vote is for 6.0
In 6.0 there are 4 toolbar buttons: "Call Graph", "Callers Graph", "Derived Classes and Members", and "Base Classes and Members" that I have used constantly for years. I have only been able to find the latter capability ("Base Classes and Members") in VS.NET

So I'm not the only one then, Call and Callers graph were so useful, what were MS thinking by removing them, Duh!

I think my vote will change shortly after I get and use the final release of Visual Studio 2005.
Some of the developer features (refactoring for instance) look really helpful but the last build I tried was a bit of a hog (and that wonderful choice of a background gradient in the toolbars made my eyes water.)
For now VS.NET 2003 is doing nicely.

Oh twister of words and wielder of dot dot dot! :P
From what I have seen, shortly after I get VS 2005, it will become my favourite. Till then I'll keep VS 2003 charged and ready.

Yeah, from what I've heard that will be true but there is no way in hell were going to spend a second on 2005 until it's been out long enough for the initial bug fixes. Were just too busy to take a chance like that.
Besides I'm just getting used to the endless rebuilding of the entire project when I make a change to a business object in my solution and my UI suddenly doesn't see any intellisense or autocomplete (or whatever that feature is called) any more for *all* my business objects.
What is odd is that I have yet to see any bit of VS 2005, but our latest update to the Infragistics UI framework has that as a style option for every control so I can imagine what it's going to look like.

When will the public version of vs 2005 be released?
Don't try it, just do it!
