About the VS 2010 IntelliSense slugshiness: I found out that installing something called "Windows Automation API 3.0" (I'm running Windows XP, it's not required for Vista/Windows 7) helped a bit. Still, it's slower than Eclipse autocomplete or even VS 2008, and very, very intrusive and annoying (it must be rewrote by the guys whom created the infamous Word Clippy).
Also, I'm getting problems with the buggy window refresh (sometimes the code window is simply not drawn, and you have to minimize and restore the whole IDE to fix it -

). I am glad I won't have to deal with this... thing... for much long now.
