VS 2012 is worth upgrading to - ALL CAPS in menus can be turned off using registry tweak, black and white theme is annoying at start but they've made real improvements to build speed and also .NET 4.5 is a bit faster - saw around 10-15% speed up in CPU intensive code.
Skipped VS 2010 completely.Comment

I've been using VS2005. It's great: everything is so fast, it doesn't randomly lock up in the middle of typing, and intellisense actually provides useful information rather than freezing the machine for 30 seconds and still not finding the definition.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Have not tried C++, but for C# they are actually quicker than VS 2008 to build things and to debug, so well worth upgrading.
Intellisense has improved compared to VS 2008, overall it's a very good result - I just wish they invested their resources into something other than Metro tulip.Comment

His name was Sinofsky.
He got fired for being such a mongo.
Few months before Win 8 release I've posted a few comments in his blog that I can't wait for Win 8 because he'd get fired quickly after, they never made post moderation but VS 2012 team's blog was more open minded about it

It turned out that the installation package had put the 32 bit version in by default. By installing the 64 bit version he got the expected performance back.
Just something to check...Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
