Off-line help is nice for looking up the names of functions I can't recall. For example, is it GetCurSel() or GetSelCur()? That's a pain to do online, but the fast off-line index tab makes it almost trivial.


But IntelliSense, especially when augmented with Visual Assist X, blows either doc search method away.

Possibly. But as we all know, Intellisense is dubious in VC++ 8 (can't count how many times I've blown away the ncb file trying to get the damn thing to work correctly). My shop is also too tightly budgeted to fork out the $$ for multiple Visual Assist seats. So, we encourage using memory (the gray matter kind).

It would be nice if Microsoft can just make this stuff work out of the box. The 2005 IDE (for C++) is barely a step above using vi. Just barely.
