VS can't seem to get straight all the dependencies and tries to rebuild way too many things. and if you have build errors it always stops well before getting all of them, so you have to build and rebuild and rebuild... it doesn't seem to put the errors in any sensible order, so in short, it takes a long time to fix all the errors if you have like 20 errors in various projects. Eclipse handles this all very well. I have a large solution in eclipse and the same one in .net (via J#), and for fixing errors I always switch to eclipse. I find vs.net is a little speedier with global searches, and with autocomplete, but that is about it...
