Which OS are you running under? I ran 2010 Betas and RCs under Vista and Win7 without issue for months but now I'm using the RC under XP and it is shockingly annoying. Most of the time the editor and tool windows fail to refresh (including intellisense not showing up/what I'm typing not appearing until i've scrolled off and back again). This gets significantly worse when running in debug mode.
To be fair this is the RC and not the final release and I do have other plugins and stuff installed so this issue might go away when I finally update to the release version. If not then I would not recommend VS2010 to people still running XP. (To be fair I wouldn't recommend running XP any more either). I love VS2010 so I hope this is a pretty isolated experience.
