I have thought about this a bit lately, and then read someone's comment on the same subject. The specific subject I am referring to is that so much press, specifically in blogs, is given to the "next release" of any given development tool, that it leaves you wondering if people forget that most of the world is using the current release, and have little practical use for the future release until it is RTM.

And what happens when it is RTM? Well, I am sure they will be talking about the next release, just like they are now. I am as excited about the future as anyone, but also need to live in today's world. Would be nice to see more effort spent talking about what we have now, because as mentioned in the comment alluded to above, there is likely much functionality as yet untouched because people are too busy talking about the next version.

Of course, this begs the question: When the current release was the next release, and people were talking up a storm about it, where would that content be now?! I don't know that there would be much in the way of blog material about it, since blogs only seem to be just now (the last 12 months or so, give or take a few) enjoying such popularity among developers . . .
