Visual Studio 6 vs. .NET 2005

I have been using VS6 (Enterprise Edition) for years, originally as a paid software development engineer, but now for my own amusement and hobby. I am familiar with C++, MFC and the workings of the IDE. My subscription to MSDN has expired.

Is there a reason to switch to Visual Studio .NET 2005, especially if I wish to do my programming only in C++?

May be a stupid question, or may be the wrong place to ask, but I think I am satisfied with what I have, given what I use it for. Of course, I may be missing an awful lot of which I am unaware.

Thanks.

Thomas
