Probably. Visual studio's gotta be faster than eclipse the POS (if only builder had been built atop intelliJ), and I ran builder in parallels for a few weeks before switch from builder 2 to the builder 3 beta. I had to use the windows version of builder 2 because it takes Adobe so fucking long to convert a license across platforms we went through 2 betas and the final release of 3, without ever getting the damned thing. The only real problem was the lack of support for dual monitors.
