The difference is most noticeable when you're trying to add several handlers
or variables to the class. In VS7, you have to go back after every item. It
just plain sucks.

Well, apart from the fact that it is incredibly slow to react (on my
machine), the absence of ClassWizard is to me the major problem.

Sure, the info is there, but not in the convenient property *** form of
VS6 where you have a concise picture of the control variables you have added
and messages being used. In VS6, right-clicking in a source window will
bring up a menu allowing you to activate ClassWizard. In VS7, it appears you
only have the choice of 'Synchronise Class View'. I can then see my control
variables but I then have to right-click on one of them and select
'Properties' to see what resourceID it applies to. Perhaps they could have
added this info to Object Browser (which is good)

I don't understand why some things were changed. Why, eg, was something as
simple as 'Set Active Project' changed. Other things like the gratuitous
breaking of the CTime class really annoy me.

I am making an effort to use VS7 now.

Like it's almost there. If only they could have spoken to someone who
actually uses MFC before releasing the product.
