Although a better editor included with VS would be nice. Thank you kindly for the mention Sacha. Cheers, Daniel T4 sure looks to be coming of age in VS2010.

I agree the new features do look very good indeed. I have not delved into DSL tool myself, but I do know what they it can do, and it is very powerful.

I've been using them for the past year as a foundation for code generation for my apps. Using the DSL tools from the VS SDK, and based on a my own convenient meta definition, I get a great part of any app built, especially the middle and data layers, and customize from there. Prototypes get built very quickly. With the right abstractions you can get a really nice framework built up, and very customizable to tecnical and domain specifications. I haven't tested the 2010 precompiled templates as such, but from what I read, it's a very nice step foward! T4 templates are just amazing!
