I haven't noticed any speed reductions, either. The one thing I do 
really miss, though is the lack of support for Visual Assist, which is 
a plug-in that enhances some of the IDE's built-in features. Mainly 
because it's member list can be filtered by properties, methods, etc... 
and allows searches based on partial words (i.e. I can type Event, and 
I'll see MouseEventArgs, EventArgs, PaintEventArgs, etc...)

lack of source control is another biggie. C++ lacking MFC is also a 
drawback, given a lot of the C++ development we do uses MFC.
