Use the VS.NET designer for ASP.NET ?

No way. With each iteration of VS.NET it seams that the gap between the VS.NET Windows Forms designer and ASP.NET designer is increasing. While the Windows Forms designer is a pleasure to use i can't really say the same thing about the slow and buggy Web designer. The fastest way to churn out markup code is still by hand. I'm personally not really affected by this but it's still a striking difference to switch between them.
Anyway....as long as i'm here i was thinking to write about a feature i would like to see in VS.NET someday. For instance...if we have this :

ID="textBoxNumber" runat="server" CssClass="myClass"


it would be really nice to have a "Go to class" command that would go to the CSS class definition if the referenced CSS file is part of my solution.
On the bright side.....at least the Web designer does not overwrites out code anymore.:D
