2010-style Intellisense (match in-string instead of just start-of-string)
I deal with legacy databases where the table and column names often have common prefixes (imagine a Products table with columns named productcolid, productcolname, etc, just as an example). This means I have to get past said prefix before intellisense can start differentiating.
A better approach (at least as an alternative) is what VS 2010 introduces where it filters based on matching the string-so-far. This has made a huge difference when using VS 2010 and linq-to-sql / linq-to-EF and dealing with these databases.
ScottGu has a good post detailing with it - specifically check the "Code Intellisense with VS 2010" section, please.
