Top 3 Visual Studio 2008 Pet Peeves

Stupid. Stupid Stupid. Annoyances. There are more...but if 2010 carries any of these over, there WILL be hell to pay!

Number 3 (Visual Studio is busy)
Busy, Really? Sorry I was only working!

I particularly like the "Hide" box that I captured by accident.

Number 2 (Visual Studio decided to restart)
No, not yet wait!

I love this one ALMOST as much as the automatic WU reboot feature.

The Number 1 (The Cylon-feature; or ain't running those tests)
The Cylon Feature!

We should all be writing unit-tests, right? TFS test integration sucks - I coined this "feature" Cylon. It's one big dumb eye swaying back (a.k.a. - the indeterminate statusbar) Once it gets into this state NEVER comes back - without a hard start of the IDE or a prompt task manger kill of the test process host.

Yes, everyday! Many, many, many times over!

Oh damn it! The IDE's gone cylon again!


Yup. That's what it feels like

Update:
Just came across an even better collection - and I thought Studio hated ME best!

I am the laziest blogger

But its only because I'm too interested in everything else. Stumbled upon DevLabs which is a great set of resources! As well as CLinq which promises to ruin, yet another one of my weekends.
