So far I haven't been very convinced that Visual Studio is necessary for web development. Are you aware of any fancy features an average programmer would use?

Visual Web Developer (VS Express for Web Development) is a nice RDE for web applications. It has the sql explorere thing (that I don't use personally), and all the controls on the left side of the window. It has the element properties thing too. It's free, so just try it. If you don't like it you can uninstall it.

I love these guys! Free stuff is good! And free stuff from MS is even better!
MS stuff just works... I hate dealing with the "open source" free stuff because it just costs me time...

I share your opinion froggy. I don't get to say it often enough because the open source guys tend to be a little militant, but I think MS Rocks!!

To be honest I have not really looked at the express editions, thus I am working on a intranet site where I use the Reportviewer Control a lot, which does not come with the Express Editions. Plus, I am not sure if you have Source Control Integration with Expresses'

Anyone convert a 1.1 to 2.0 Final?
I've got a couple of 1.1 sites that converted well to the 2.0 beta's
but been hearing a lot about problems going from 2.0 beta to 2.0 final.
Wondering if I might just be better off to convert from 1.1 again.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

:-? I'm still having bad luck converting 2.0 Beta to Final. I agree
that this MS software is great, but there is also some excellent open
source software out there, e.g.:
1. OpenOffice 2.0 - Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Database, Drawing.
2. FileZilla - FTP client/server.
3. WinDirStat - Drive mapper.
4. Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird - Browser/Email client.
David.
