We're mostly doing C++ developing in Visual Studio 2005, and some C# coding. We're considering upgrading to Visual Studio 2008, but we're wondering if it will be worth the trouble. From what I've seen, and that is not much, VS2008 doesn't have any big advantages over VS2005. So is it worth switching to VS2008 from VS2005, or is it better...
