I would not bother upgrading to 2012 if all your current code works you will just be buying into a world of hurt.
I upgraded from 2008 to 2010 a while back and didn't regret it at all - although all I really gained were some improvements in plug-in handling and being able to zoom the editor text size up and down. I didn't notice any significant performance differences within the area I working. I did it mostly for the editor improvements.
The change to 2010 should be painless if you want to bother; the change to 2012 will be painful, guaranteed!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Actually, I converted a large client-server application without problems, but then again, there were very few component dependencies (only DevExpress, which gave me no problems.)

I found vs2012 starts as fast vc# 2008 express does or even faster;
i am surprised and sad for you, you have a different experience!
have you installed some plugins? I only have the one you can download with the extension manager, NO resharper for example...

Nope, no plugins. VS2012 locks up for a minute or two quite often on startup with the message "busy performing a background task". Geez, if it's a background task, why does it affect foreground operations? That's probably one of the more stupid messages I've ever seen.

Yeah I had that sometimes with VS2010!

Of course, sharepoint development, especially web part deployment, is much easier in VS2010/2012. This is the only reason, i have installed VS2012

Whehe ..and now you want us to tell you why you should upgrade, convincing you? Have you ever tried to convince someone who asked for a valid reason to upgrade from VB6?
You can still target the 2.0 framework and use the 4.0 runtime for it's benefits. Things like improved garbage-management come to mind. Ooh, gone the days that a .NET app froze without any obvious reason 
..and yes, I'm using the 4.0 framework from both OpenSUSE aswell as Debian (a Raspberri Pi).

I use VS2010 at home (for WinForms development) and love it. I upgraded from VS2005 and VS2008. At work I use both VS2010 and VS2012.

I use 2012 at work (mostly for SSIS), but 2010 at home where I'm more likely to do WinForms.
But mostly I write console apps and libraries and I don't use VS for that.

I was in the dentists asking about prices.
"How much for a tooth extraction?" I asked
"That will be £420" said the receptionist.
"£420! Do you think I am made of money? Why is it so high?"
"Well Sir, for that you get the dentist, the anaesthetist, dental nurse, general anaesthetic and medication"
"Can't you do it cheaper?"
"Well we can do it for £250, but for that there is no General, on local and no recovery"
"Is there a cheaper option?"
"Well we can do a £50 extraction, but there is no painkiller at all, and just a dentist to pull it with a pair of pliers"
"Aye" I said, "That will do, can I book the wife in for tomorrow?"

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist.
"I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want any pain killers because I'm in a big hurry. No gas or needles or any of that stuff." the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way."
The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?"
The woman turned to her husband and said: "Show him your tooth, dear."

I was just reading an article the other day about how much an anesthesiologist adds to the cost of medical procedures (well, actually it was about a new machine that can do the same job much cheaper). It's kind of sad how true that part of this joke is...

So we finally decided to bail on the 2012 visual studio cloudification handle git for you thing.
It would have been great had it worked at all. We couldn't even commit changes on our published branch, and then sync. It would get all hosed up and we couldn't even change branches.
I have found a way to use it for the simple things, and git bash for the rest. So we create branches, commit, rebase, etc.. through the terminal, and then use the vs gui to sync.
Now I have to figure out how to create the remotes from the vss address and we'll finally be able to work on the project again.

... hate the dentists...
He basically called me in for the annual checkup.. Found out two bad teeth which have to be "taken away in a later moment". And I have such a difficulty to open the mouth...
Definition of the "Later moment": full anesthesia in a hospital for a half a day.. Don't think the insurance is taking that over.. Will be a pretty busy "dentist" autumn for me.. And my wallet..

Pub?
After dental work?
When the alcohol raises your blood pressure, you'll learn a bit more about how much damage the sadistic b@st@rd did.

ANNUAL checkup?
No wonder you hate the dentist.
You should see him every six months.
And why would you have to have full anesthesia? Can't he jab you full of novacaine and starlight you with pentathol instead? It's what my jaw cracker does.
Much easier and none of the inherent dangers of full coma inducing sleeping draughts
