VS2005 Not ready for prime time

I am so disappointed in VS2005. The "little things" wrong with it are just
mind-boggling. Boy, I'll be so mad if I have to wait a year for the ".1"
release that fixes all the bugs in this obvious beta product.

This (received today) is just one of the many examples of why ASP.NET 2.0
was totally not ready for prime time.
http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback_911717.aspx The "workaround" they cite
isn't a workaround AT ALL. They're actually saying... "don't use it." It's
handling of CSS classes sucks (no dropdown for style classes anywhere...
everything has to be inputted manually from memory)... it's handling of
globalization via resources sucks (Global_Resource doesn't appear in any
drop downs and neither does its keys).

It's the "little things" that matter. Not the big hammers and frameworks
(like all the code-behind and project model "improvements" in ASP.NET 2.0).
It's the little things that make you scratch your head and make you waste
hours of time trying to figure what YOU'RE doing wrong... when it's just
that the tool you're using is in need of an IMMEDIATE patch cycle.
