One innovation I love most with with Visual Studio is their AutoHide windows. I always configure every window (server explorer, debug windows, etc.) to be AutoHide to maximize my code view (eventhough I have a 1280 x 1024 resolution at font size 8).
The only problem with the said feature is its bug. There is a known AuthoHide window bug for Visual Studio .NET wherein they sometimes mess up especially for add-ins. When they mess up, window becomes not functional.
Jetbrains Refactor has an issue with their Find Results window here.
The thing I hate most is its conflict with VSS Pending Checkins. I am the type of guy who only wants the minimum window open so I rarely use Enterprise Manger or Query Analyzer. I use all the tools in VS and when Pending Checkins window messes up, I couldn’t do anything but restart devenv.exe. As they say, it’s a real PITA.
