Anyone working at a company using Visual Studio Express 2010 instead of the pay version ? Does Express do enough?

I am. And I am wondering if there is any good reason to use professional .. Also for hobbiest programming...

So far the only thing I have missed is being able open certain .sln files that use testing projects and more advanced things.. but that not that big of a deal.. though I do miss testing

I was first surprised that the small consulting company I am working at does not use a paid edition of VS2010 (and SVN instead of TFS and Op开发者_StackOverflow社区en Office instead of MS Office)

Anyone else working at a place like this? With the new Platform installer I like how I can get a new machine running and easily check and install what I need for free so that makes it even easier.

There's one good reason: Microsoft does not allow 3rd party extensibility in Express. Plug-ins like ReSharper add significant value to Visual Studio. I have trouble imagining doing professional work in a timely manner without them.
