using is cleaner, clearer, and easier to use.

Your second example would be caught in the IDE, before you even tried to compile.

you do realise that VS does a partial compilation while you type I assume

But easier does not always lead to better, more reliable, or less buggy. For the small amount of extra effort to use try-catch-finally, it seems to me to be worth the effort. I've run into objects created via the using statement that left me with odd behavior that could not be stepped through in a using statement. But once I did away with the using statement, and used try-catch-finally, I found the problem and corrected it within minutes. So to avoid these unnecessary, but rare issues, I don't take shortcuts like the using statement. I realize the responsibility is 100% on me to cleanup the objects I create, and I am OK with that.
