The <a href="http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef">Visual
Studio 2010 Power Tools</a> have just been released. There’s all sorts of goodness
in here: new flexible tab handling in the VS shell (vertical tab groups, tabs grouped
by project, dropping of rarely used tabs, etc); a new searchable Add Reference dialog;
new editor enhancements to make navigation easier and much more
</p>
        <p>
I’ve been playing with it for the last couple of hours and its very neat. Of course
I don’t use <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/">Resharper</a> or <a href="http://www.devexpress.com/Products/Visual_Studio_Add-in/Coding_Assistance/">CodeRush</a> (I
use too many machines I don’t control to become dependent on them) so some of these
features may be available in those tools. But for me the power tools are a welcome
addition to the IDE
