Have you guys tried the new CTP builds of the SharePoint V3 templates for VS.Net?

They are pretty amazing...you literally start a new Web Part project, compile then deploy. All from within VS.Net 2005.

Add a web part to a page and presto; you just built and deployed a webpart; big step forward in terms of approachability...

I also noticed it deploys a solution file so suspect all Web Front End servers in a development farm would end up with the Web Part...nice.
