>I was at a demo of Delphi while VFP3 was still in beta, and one of the cool things it did was allow you to edit the class definitions while instances of the class existed. As soon as you saved changes in the designer the objects changed. It was pretty impressive. I have no idea it still works like that or not but it was a cool RAD feature to have available during development.

The VS.Net editor work like that too for Windows forms, but it's nowhere near as slick as Delphi was <s>... With VS.Net changing some things will totally hose a form <bg>, whereas in Delphi you'd get a dialog that would tell you what was wrong immediately.

I've had some major problems with Windows forms in .Net so far. Most of it due to version differences even with slight beta differences. Slight changes to objects etc. and boom the forms won't load as forms anymore. I suppose this will get addressed before it ships, but it's been frustrating as hell.
