title: Java IDEs vs Microsoft IDEs
body: <p>I come from a strong Java background and in recent years have been also developing in C#.</p>
  
  <p>What I can never understand is how far behind (Personal Opinion) the Visual Studio IDE's are in compared with Intelli-J IDEA and Eclipse (Java).</p>
  
  <p>There have been improvements by Microsoft from VS 2005 to VS 2008, but I feel they are not quite there in terms of taking the development experience to the next level.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to know is, is VS 2010 any different?</p>
  
  <p>Why is it that the tools and syntax editors are so much more "evolved" in the Java IDE's.</p>
  
  <p>Just to name a few:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Code Completion (Much more advance in Java IDE's)</li>
  <li>Ant Integration (Eclipse and IDEA) vs Visual Studio Build Events</li>
  <li>Lack of Code Repository integration in VS (Subversion and CVS) out of the box.</li>
  <li>Lack of Advance Re-factoring Tools in Visual Studio.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
