There's something between VS and NotePad... Some people like Vim or Emacs, Textmate, etc... So yeah. With y'all there.

I would be inclined for a "visual studio: the good parts" edition however. Preferably a light weight stand alone editor with good refactoring help (mostly for speed). I've been doing a little bit of spiking fun in linqpad lately and using the c# program template to try a few things out, along with trying a little F#. This feels a lot like what I would prefer to use. An environment I could easily drop on a thumb drive and go to town with. Just some thoughts on the topic.
