I once tried it. Couldn't do anything useful with it during a whole 
hour. I uninstalled it. Of course, despite recommendations made by 
Microsoft itself to other developers, the uninstaller didn't remove 
everything that was installed. I was months with lots of filetypes (like 
.c) still associated to VS express.

I use gvim and a bash shell (yes, in Windows) for all my development 
needs. Except for POV-Ray, where I use the internal editor, and for 
Java, where I use Eclipse. MinGW as C compiler.
