I agree.
I'll have a look at VS when I've gained some more experience.
I'll need a IDE like VS to design GUI's, though I don't know how this is
done by a blind person.
I still can picture a GUI layout in my head, the title bar, the menu bar etc
etc.
I guess that's useful to me when the time is right to try building a GUI.

If you just want to play around, a text editor will be fine.

However, in my opinion, you can never achieve the same productivity with 
that approach as with Visual Studio.
You can use the VS 2008 Express series. It is free.

Some benefits:
* Syntax highlighting - should you have any vision remaining.
* Visual Designers - should you have have any vision remaining.
* Intellisense.
* Code completion.
* Auto code formatting (configurable)
* Integrated compiler and debugger.
* Code navigation, such as *GoToDefinition* and *GoToDeclaration*.
* Code information: types of variables in tooltips etc.
* And lots of other tools too.

IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. Basically, it is a fancy 
and powerful text editor with all the extra development tools all right 
there, readily accessible.
So, unless you have a very compelling reason, you should always use an IDE, 
VS or other, all in my humble opinion.

Hi

What's the main advantages of using a IDE like Visual Studio?
I thought of just starting out coding in my favorite text editor EdSharp.
Is that a stupid approach?

Thanks Chris. It is usable but not clean.
It is what it is unless I ever script it.
