SharpDevelop 3.0

Hi everyone. Just a quick note to share some joy - I recently shelled out for Visual Studio 2008, then, of course, decided to check out the competition. I like it.
SharpDevelop 3.0 has just hit beta 1, and feels like a good solid tool. Unlike Visual Studio, which comes bundled with a lot of very advanced designer-driven functionality, SharpDevelop feels like the product of the more agile mindset driving the project.
I'd gladly trade half of the VS features for integrated code coverage testing like this:
For this reason alone, SharpDevelop has already found its place in my workflow. The integrated Subversion support is nice too, but of course Tortoise is still the one client to rule them all :)

Interesting. Same fate as unit testing I suppose. What a shame - VS is great but not holding the bar very high for what constitutes "professional". I have been using Team Edition sometimes lately but the slowdown brought about by TFS just discourages me from poking around very much. Perhaps I should be more adventurous...

Actually, Visual Studio has a similar code coverage feature - but its sadly not available in the Professional edition.
