It was techgnome that gave me the idea to start this thread. I was going to reply to his comment in the "Microsoft to Acquire Skype" thread but I thought it would be too off topic so that's why I started this thread.

I was about to say in that thread :

What? You mean you don't think that Visaul Studio 2010 is the absolute best Visual Studio ever? I'm actually not joking here though it sounds like it. From my own experience I like Visual Studio 2010 better than any of the previous Visual Studios. I've used 2008, 2005 and 2003. I'm no expert so maybe there are good reasons to like VS2010 less than some of the prior versions but I'm not aware of what they are.

In my own opinion it seems like Microsoft is getting better with time. I like the more recent Windows, IE, and Visual Studio versions more than the older versions.
