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 to wait for VS2010? What are your experiences switching from VS2005 to VS2008?
Thanks in advance!

No, not really. There were only minor improvements to the C++ IDE, and the major improvements coming from the C++ team at MSFT are in Visual Studio 2010 (including an intellisense overhaul). It would not be beneficial to C++ developers in anyway really, you’re not missing out.
