WebMatrix is beating VS.NET...
I just come across this screenshot of the next drop for WebMatrix in NikhilKo’s blog.
WebMatrix is now supporting one *very* requested wish of VS.NET users… better design-time support for Web User Controls. Yes… instead of getting that little ugly-and-awkward gray box you now get WYSIWYG.
Sincerely, I’ve never considered WebMatrix very seriously. I’ve often referred to it as a toy or as a “kind-of-FrontPage”; (I mean, who can live without intellisense? J) but it seems like the next drop will make me change my mind, at least a bit.
I’m asking myself: “When will we, VS.NET users, get decent design-time support for UC?”
Me: “Whidbey?”
Me again: “Surely. But that seems *so* far away.”
Moreover, that question leads me to another one:
“What cool new feature -not implemented by VS.NET- will be WebMatrix implementing at the time VS.NET catches up with UC?”
