I think they need a good mix of the two.
Adobe did it right with CS6

Gonna have to concur. I think the problem is they tried to match the win8 metro UI to it; I don't know how many developers would willingly use the metro UI, though.

Indeed. Too bad skinning VS itself isn't as easy as changing the syntax highlighting. :[

I remember back in the days of XP when you could skin everything rather easy.

I just got my student MSDN access, I should download the new VS too

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

In case anyone else stumbles across this there's a plugin to help you change your colors easily, I don't know how my searching didn't bring me to this originally.

It can't change the icon sets, but the blue scheme is fairly close to vs2010.

you should download windows 3.11 and install TCP/IP protocol. I have all the legacy files to run in VirtualBox. :D
