The Visual Studio 2010 IDE has been redesigned which, according to Microsoft, clears the UI organization and “reduces clutter and complexity.” The new IDE better supports multiple document windows and floating tool windows,[70] while offering better multi-monitor support. The IDE shell has been rewritten using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF),[71] whereas the internals have been redesigned using Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) that offers more extensibility points than previous versions of the IDE that enabled add-ins to modify the behavior of the IDE.

Visual Studio 2010 comes with .NET Framework 4 and includes F#, a functional programming language originally developed at Microsoft Research.
