I have never really found the design view in Visual Studio useful when developing aspx pages, and so I basically never use it.
Am I missing something or is it just o
I use it and I use the CssClass attribute in 2010 to specift a class in the css file. that way it's neat and displayes well(in all browsers) also if you are using a menu item or etc you can just specify a different css color etc in your cssclass attribute for skinning (also the use of themes etc) each time vs comes out I also learn things that I would otherwise not have used but which turn out to be usefull like the Membership model, CreateUser Wizard etc.
