Sharepoint development in Visual Studio 2010

I've been doing it for a while now and in my opinion once you move to 2010 (SharePoint and Visual Studio) you'll never want to go back. All the new project types, the client OM, installing on Windows 7 for development, BCS, creating external content types, deply/debug with F5, feature package editor, etc. all make it a huge improvement for developers.
I've been posting a series of screencasts on "What's new in SharePoint 2010 for developers" on Channel9 and will have more coming over the next few weeks:
