One of the first things to note is that Visual Studio 2010 allows you to write code against multiple versions of the .NET Framework and CLR; this means that, even if you still need to work on .NET 3.X or 2.0 code, you can upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 and still be able to work on .NET 3.X applications and .NET 2.0 applications.
Some of the features in Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 that look really useful are:
- IntelliTrace, which allows you to “rewind” the application to debug
- Multiple monitor support (it’s about time)
- Vastly improved debugging for parallelism
- Significantly improved support for XAML
- Better support for jQuery and other client-side technologies
- Local Team Foundation Server installations (this is awesome for lone developers or developers in small shops)
- Parallel Extensions Library
- F# built into the system
