To DNN or Not to DNN?

Ok, I've been pretty happy with DotNetNuke and I'm very excited about their updated version (3.0.9 was my latest install test). The problem? I've grown attached to Visual Studio 2005 and Yukon. Don't get me wrong, ASP.Net is good and I still like it, but ASP.NET 2.0 becomes addicting. Actually it isn't the ASP side of VS 2005 that I'm liking so much. It is the class development and usage that has been fun. Whenever I go back to VS 2003, I try to do things the same way and it just isn't quite the same ;)


That brings us to my delima. I want to program my modules in vs 2005 to run on SQL Server 2005 of which the beta of DNN 3 doesn't currently support. I'm sure there are ways to hack it so things will work, but I also don't have that kind of time. So the question really becomes: Should I use DNN and VS 2003 or use VS 2005 and not some stock portal app?
