Horrible - who designed that? Could Monty Hammontree even get a job in a
panel & paint shop? 

And I agree with meski - I also need to have multiple versions of VS, and
with VS11 it is not even consistency, more like recognition.

I agree, somewhat, about the colour, but feel you've gone too far towards
monochrome.  And if you make me learn a new set of damned icons, I won't use
the bloody thing.  This is one thing I wish Microsoft would stop tinkering
with.  Icons, menu layouts, dialog layouts.   Some of us don't move on
completely from one version to another, but use 3 different versions of VS.
Do you have any idea how painful this is?

Take the comment/uncomment icons. WTF are they meant to represent?
