Working with VS.Net 2003

I had to do a two minutes task in Visual Studio 2003 today, and it took me exactly three seconds to run into something that doesn't exist in 2003 that I've grown to like in 2005. I thought that I didn't like VS.Net 2005, but it's a great deal (better | slower) than VS.Net 2003. I also got ReSharper to work semi reliably on VS 2005, so that makes all the difference in the world in the amount of satisfaction that I get from work.

I had ReSharper generate a full blown class from an interface in a couple of seconds, including properties and simple constructor that would take many minutes to do without it. I showed it to a friend, and then did a couple more times, for the sheer pleasure of it. That is how it should be.
