I finally got around to downloading the VS Express versions, and I was pretty impressed (refactoring is cool!). For those of you who've used it, do you think it'd be worth abandoning VS.Net 2003 in favor of the more lightweight VS Express?

The Express versions are standalone products aimed at persons who work with only one of the toolsets in the Visual Studio family, who don't need the full power of Visual Studio. The products aren't comparable to the full, integrated Visual Studio.

Once its released officially, it will probably be worth the upgrade if you don't need the entire suite. But in the meantime, its a little buggy, and setting it up to actually build programs is more work than it should be. If you already have VS.Net, I wouldn't bother upgrading for a while.
