According to Scott at weblogs.asp.net that one of the big features which web developers will quickly discover with VS 2008 is its dramatically improved HTML designer, and the rich CSS support it brings.
As an info that VS 2008 now uses the same web designer that ships with Microsoft's new Expression Web product. In addition to providing lots of new functionality where we will also find that this web designer is much faster than the VS 2005 version (which was based on a much older code base).
Some new web designer features that reviewed by weblogs.asp.net is given which claimed that will be able to take advantage of with both VS 2008 as well as the free Visual Web Developer 2008 Express including;
For summary, Scott explained that because VS 2008 now has multi-targeting support you'll be able to use these feature immediately without having to install .NET 3.5 on your servers. You can open existing ASP.NET 2.0 projects in VS 2008, have VS 2008 continue to target .NET 2.0 as the runtime target, and begin using these features immediately
For me as a dreamweaver-cholic maybe only CSS Source View Intellisense feature of VS 2008 Web Designer that I couldn't found in my favourite "web/blog design tool". Just for share I only use Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 for change blog template. Maybe if I get more money I will buy this VS 2008 or whether someone out there wish donate me to buy it ?
