Visual Studio 2005 vs 2008 - What are the benefits?

Question

What are the benefits of upgrading from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008?

Any thoughts on whether it\'s worth the jump, or is it better to wait for whatever\'s coming next

Answer 1

My favorite new feature: when an Intellisence option box is showing, you can hold down control to make it semi-transparent and see the code behind it. There are tons of bigger new features and reasons to switch, but that one is a real win for me.
