Edit and Continue appearing in VB but not in C# created a huge dicussion on why the C# team did not go for it etc. And also on why E&C was good or bad. But E&C for C# is Rank 1 request in the Product Feedback Center.
I have been attending quite a few conferences and seminars in the past few weeks and also have been talking to a few people, looking at reactions to E&C.
I personally think, E&C in C# will have an higher "wow" factor than in VB. For the simple reason, VB programmers have been used to it and missed it sorely when .NET came out. So now it is just a feature that we got back. While most C# programmers are from either Java or C/C++ backgroud. So this looks very cool for them.
I find that VB programmers just look at the demos for E&C and then just move on, while the C# programmers usually come and ask, whether it is avbl in C# and when it will make it. Some of them remarked it was a very good feature and they would love to have it in C#.
This post does not mean that I do not appreciate the VB teams efforts to get E&C in [I rarely find fault with the VB team..:-)], but rather the C# team should have done it and they could have got a lot more milage out of the feature..
