A poll on a recent SQL Server Development site has Chuck is currently standing on 25 per cent of the vote.
In case you're wondering just what it is about the Chuckmeister which inspires such devotion, and quite possibly fear, among his devotees, try this:
Forget Wikipedia, if Chuck Norris wants you to know something, he will tell you.
Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. But he has never cried. Ever.
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you cant see Chuck Norris, you may be only seconds away from death.
Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.
Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
Chuck Norris doesn't wash his clothes, he disembowels them.
In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.
There is no chin behind Chuck Norris's beard. There is only another fist.
The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Chuck Norris out. It failed misserably.
There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.
When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes ever.
A Handicap parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to Chuck Norris and that you will be handicapped if you park there.
Chuck Norris will attain statehood in 2009. His state flower will be the Magnolia.
Chuck Norris originally appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked bout this "glitch," Norris replied, "Thats no glitch."
Chuck Norris once shot down a German fighter plane with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"
Chuck Norris has two speeds: Walk and Kill.
Someone once tried to tell Chuck Norris that roundhouse kicks arent the best way to kick someone. This has been recorded by historians as the worst mistake anyone has ever made.
Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship.
Chuck Norris is the only human being to display the Heisenberg uncertainty principle - you can never know both exactly where and how quickly he will roundhouse-kick you in the face.
Chuck Norris can drink an entire gallon of milk in forty-seven seconds.
Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris.
The Chuck Norris military unit was not used in the game Civilization 4, because a single Chuck Norris could defeat the entire combined nations of the world in one turn.

That a good one.
But I favor "Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice."
He and I have that in common.

After fixing the un-converted (event handler references, the /Zl switch), the thing still won't let me use design mode (the point of having an IDE).
Project Builds & RUns, but if I want to change the design, I've either got to do it manually or go back to VS2003.
The call tree displayed (in place of the Form) is of no help. Not so much as a line number. Massive commenting of code didn't do it, either.
So, it seems I'll be using VS2003 for the duration.

Personally, from what I have 'played' with Eclipse, its a rather awesome design. I just wish I knew what to do with Java.

Don't know of any other tool that does java development better.

There is one freeware called JCreator. I haven't used it but I think it is also widely used by Java World right?

JCreator is only one step up from using notepad.

It's down to 1.73% now. That just doesn't have the same ring to it, though.

But I still need it every now and then.

So do I. (VC++).
On a collaborative project with many contractors, dev suite and target OS were "hardwired" in interface documents so we keep on making fixes (from time to time) with VC++ 6.0 to avoid huge regression testing on the whole system...

It probably won't come as too much of a surprise that I've currently got all of the following installed on my laptop, given that we support add-ins for them:
- eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
- Visual C++ 6.0
- Visual Studio .NET 2002
- Visual Studio .NET 2003
- Visual Studio 2005
- Visual Studio 2008
That list came very close to having Visual C++ 5.0 added to it a couple of weeks back too.
eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 is another one we would consider adding if someone asks for it, too.

You've got me beat by only one on the MS side.
But since I have an equal smattering of non-MS compilers, I think it balances out.
