I *did* do a forum topic search for "Visual Studio 2012" and didn't find a topic dedicated to the IDE - Which really surprised me. If someone knows of one that already exists (which I would have expected by now) please feel free to merge this in. Otherwise, feel free to pin this as a point for everyone to share the cool things they like about the new IDE, and the things they hate.

• I already have VS10pro installed with plenty of add-ons.
  
• Installed VS12pro (so side-by-side with both runable)
  
• Installed Blend+Sketchflow preview for VS12 (Side-by-side to Expression Studio 4). There are several new components that are kinda cool:
  
  • Callouts of a few styles,
    
  • A complete calculator as a component,
    
  • And finally a property Grid.

Add-ons etc.

• ReSharper 7 - Recognizes VS10 and VS12 independently and can integrate to either or both.
  
• Dotfuscator - Just seeing integration to VS10.
  
• InstallShield2012 L.E. - Download page says VS11beta but really is VS12LE and installs fine

There are several start kit templates on-line. I think this can help us to help rookies by pointing them at these starter kits as example code projects they can dissect and learn from.
