I have to say, together with Visual Studio, .NET is actually a good piece of software made by Microsoft. *Quite* different than their previous software crimes.
I have to whole heartily agree. I've been using VS with dot net for years and this stuff is just wonderful. It always makes me wish that MS didn't make OSes so we could have tools like this on other platforms. It's really hard to develop on other platforms when you get spoiled with tools like this.
