VisualStudio
The top 3 Visual Studio 2008 IDE features for web developers, in my opinion, are:
1. New
split view designer with new CSS support.
2. JavaScript intellisense and debugging enhancements.
3. Nested Master Page support.
Note that due to the
multitargeting feature, the tool/IDE enhancements are also applicable to developers targeting ASP.NET 2.0 ;)
If you are looking at what is new from a platform perspective, then the top 3 IMO are:
A. ASP.NET AJAX support out of the box -
'nough said.
B. Three new
ASP.NET 3.5 controls.
C. ASP.NET MVC Framework. Technically not part of ASP.NET 3.5, but it will be released later as an addition and it is too cool not to mention ;-)
BTW, back in March I listed some other blogs that you should be following for web-specific Visual Studio resources.
