Hi Trent,
Trent L. Taylor (11/18/2012)
As for VS 2012, there are some issues with the colors (too monochrome) that can be corrected with the Theme plug-in for VS 2012. The pending changes dialog for the Team Explorer is awful....way more energy to work from. Also, the icons are all the same color and look virtually the same in the Solution Explorer, so it is hard to quickly spot certain code files.Just to report back that I finally upgraded to MS-SQL2012 & VS2012, not Window 8 yet.
MS-SQL2012, I like it a lot, maybe because now they are using VS2010 as the IDE and I feel very comfortable around it. Also it is faster than 2008R2.
As for VS2012, I love everything under the hood, the speed and other things, but the 2 theme options are just awful, either totally in the dark or extremely white, very uncomfortable, heck my applications looks much better for sure, just cannot understand why they have not addressed that in Update 1, I read the next update will have some UI fixes, at least they should have provided a VS2010 theme.
Well have not done anything seriously yet, but planing to do so this week. By the way, I could not find any documentation related on what is new in SF 1.7.6.0 or at least what has been fixed, but the SF update when really smooth with no complications.
