Time to upgrade from 640x480.

This particular point is based on being forced to give up a chunk of your screen space to information you don't want to see at that particular moment. Menus I can live with, half the screen given over to tulip I don't need is too much and it should be easy to minimize it and focus on what you need, but without losing it all together because I probably will need it again in 5 minutes.

There were some other things that annoyed me as well, the built in documentation system is too fine grained for one, I'd like to have an overview rather than a page per field or method and another for the class that doesn't have any useful information on it.

Anyway, I got the job done & got paid, so who cares? I'm just saying there are better IDEs out there.

This was VS2005 mind, maybe the latest version is better.
