My last reason for using VS 2010 whilst still having VS 2012 installed was due to lack of Crystal Reports support in the new IDE. Thankfully, they've finally released an update that supports 2012 in the last couple of days. So now I no longer have a reason to use VS 2010. On 17 January 2013

Yeah; I think Oleg's taking good care of us there. But the question is whether he will make all features of WiX available through his framework, especially if you have seen the proposal for WiX 4.0; it's a lot more involved with support for different deployment technologies like nupkg, appx,
