I've been using it for about a month. I like it. The new IDE
takes a bit of getting used to. It looks similar to the VB IDE.
At first this bothered me, but after using it a while I've gotten
to the point where I like it better.

Like:
1-Supports multiple compilers. (It's about time.)
2-Allows coding Windows 32-bit native and .NET.

Potential dislikes:
1-The new IDE takes getting used to and some people don't like
it. I do like it and I didn't think I would.
2-It's a brand new product, so you probably shouldn't plan
on shipping out a bunch of commercial programs with it tomorrow.
But this is expected with any new release.

I think it is worth the upgrade.
