What developer features excite you the most for WSS 4.0 / SharePoint 2010? [closed]

Answer 1

I would have to say clean XHtml output. That has been bugging me for the 3 years i've worked with sharepoint.

Answer 2

My personal 'want' is the developer dashboard!

Answer 3

The new Client Object Model (OM), which will make it a lot easier writing SharePoint apps running on remote machines. It looks a lot easier than working with the current set of inconsistent and cumbersome Web services.

Answer 4

Development support on Win 7 / WS08R2

You no longer have to do your development on Windows Server. You can use Win 7, Vista, or WS08R2.

Answer 5

Official LINQ support. Seriously, CAML is stupid, and replacing it with LINQ in most cases will be a blessing.

Answer 6

XSLT based Rendering for the List Views
