Q: 

Is VS2008 Written in c#/.net

Obviously VS2008 is written in part in c# but I'm wondering to what's extend. Is c# the driving force with win32 interop or is it mostly win32 with some c# interop

Similar to this question, no?

According to Microsoft, it's written in MFC C++ (can't find the link).

I believe that most of Visual Studio is a C++ COM app. I don't think it uses MFC, but I'm not positive. All of the C#/VB specific UI is written in .NET, though.

Visual Studio 2010 is getting a massive rewrite and will be a WPF application.
