features:
(1) #define expander.
learn what will happen to your code when all #define and #include dirrectives are executed.

i am sure you have a piece of code that is migrating from project to project. now you can insert your stuff with one mouse click!
(3) zip your workspace with single mouse click.
sometimes developers want to
backup project before making serious changes in the code in order to have an option to
restore it later. now you can acrive the project with one mouse click

of cause you can do it puching ctrl+shift+esc, select the process in project list, and click end process button. but you can do the same with single mouse click from developer studio!
