Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Xidius, there is C# support in module development. The Framework isn't in C#, but there is a C# port of it available. I'm not sure what you're referring to with "quicklier" though, perhaps you develop your C# faster than you do your VB? congrats

Rated 2 Stars (out of 5) - The localization is POORLY tested. It's a breaking change to upgrade your existing localization solution to this version and very messy to try and convert. Language once selected does not persist. Telerik DLL Version in the install package is different then the upgrade package breaking module development scenarios. If you can skip this one I recommend it.

Rated 2 Stars (out of 5) - While I am glad to see DNN finally support more localization in the core, I am very disappointed to see that human friendly urls were destroyed in the process. Things like this are what are making the decision to not renew my DNN Pro subscription easier. There are very little advantages of Pro over Community.
