>I'll agree on the help system to an extent. The ability to have tabbed documents, however, is pretty cool. My biggest dislike (at least in VB.NET) is the fact that the event's and methods (at least at the form level) aren't easily available.

George,

If you go into a VB form, then right click on it, and 'View Code' you are brought into the code editor. On the top of the editor there are two combo boxes. Open the one on the left and choose 'base class events' then in the right combo there is a list of all the forms events. The ones that have code in them are bold (not moved to the top like in VFP). If you want to add code to respond to/handle an event choose the event from the combo and VB will create a procedure to handle that event.

I don't know how much easier you want it. Granted, they aren't on the property window like in VFP, but there are also ALOT more base events in VB.Net.
