I am just about to get used with Visual Studio 2010 right now.
So could you mention visual studio add-in that is ready for Visual Studio 2010?
Take a look within Visual Studio itself: Tools -> Extension Manager.
This will show various tools and other extensions from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/. I'm not sure if it's working very well right now, as I'm having connection issues within VS and the site seems a bit slow.
I know AnkhSVN exists on there and I'm sure others do as well.
Here's a blog post with some more information: Get VS2010 Extensions easily with built-in Extension Manager (and checking out a VS2010T4 editor)
JetBrains has preview builds of ReSharper available. It may not be completely stable yet, but some ReSharper is better than no ReSharper...
AnkhSVN - a subversion client is VS 2010 compatible.
Hope that helps,

Get ReSharper. It really helps you make fewer errors and code faster. http://twi.im/oW
My addin Atomineer Pro Documentation provides automatic DocXml/Doxygen comment generation tool for use in C/C++/C#/VB/Java. It supports XML Documentation, Doxygen, JavaDoc, and Qt format comments.
An alternative for documenting in XML format for C#/VB is GhostDoc - there is a feature comparison here to give an idea of how they measure up to each other.

Recent version of Visual Studio added AI-assisted IntelliSense. See below image the star-marked items.
Many times this AI-assisted IntelliSense works great. ReShaper's suggestion system is more powerful in general and I always stick to it. My question is can I have Microsoft AI-assisted IntelliSense in ReSharper's suggestion system?

ReSharper's suggestion system?
I am afraid that you cannot get your answer as your expected.
Assisted IntelliSense is from Visual Studio IntelliCode and is a part of Viusal Studio Intellisnese.
However, Resharper is a third-party extension and its Intellisense will inherit, overwrite Visual Studio Intellisense and then uses its own features.
In fact, it is not compatible with Visual Studio Intellisense. You can check this document. Besides, someone has reproted a similar issue.
So in use, you can only use one of them(Visual Studio Intellisense and Resharper Intellisense), but not use them all at the same time.
As a suggestion, if you're using VS2019, try switching between them(Extensions-->Resharper-->Options-->Environment-->Intellisense-->General) which this is the only better solution and thanks for Resharper has retained the option to use Visual Studio Intellisense.
In addition, if you still want this feature and use both of them at the same time, you should contact with Resharper's support team and hope that they will give you a satisfactory answer.
For personal projects I cannot use my work-licence of Visual Studio Professional at home.
Visual Studio Express just seem less appealing than the professional edition, what are my alternatives except notepad?
MonoDevelop and SharpDevelop are only two options, though even the Express edition of Visual Studio seems to have more features (and is more familiar to those using the Pro/Ultimate editions).
A number of programming text editors have C# syntax highlighting and you can invoke the compiler with key bindings (that you will need to configure yourself), though a dedicated IDE would make a better experience. Notepad++ is one such editor.
Notepad++? :)
More seriously though, there are free C# IDE's out there, such as SharpDevelop however I have always preferred Visual Studio myself.
One open source alternative is SharpDevelop.
Edit: And as Kyle pointed out, I too prefer Visual Studio above anything else.
I knew about RockScroll at this blog, I downloaded it to run on Visual Studio 2010, but it doesn't seem to work with VS 2010.
What might be the problem? Doesn't RockScroll v1 work with VS 2010?
If so, what would be an alternative?
If not, what might be wrong?
The Productivity Power Tools now include a scroll bar similar to RockScroll/MetalScroll as described by #shaunmartin in another question:
Alternatives are MetalScroll and AllMargins.
I haven't tried MetalScroll. I installed AllMargins, and it's neat, but I can't say its been very useful.
RockScroll doesn't work with VS2010. Last I checked, there were a couple of somewhat-similar-looking extensions on the VS Gallery, though I don't know if any work with VS2010 and the new editor. I know at MS a couple of VS folks are working on a new RockScroll-like VSIX in their free time, for possible inclusion in a future version of the Pro Power Tools, though I haven't heard anything about it in the last couple months.
I know vs2008 express didn't. I'm hoping this will change with vs2010. Anyone know? Link me?
Edit:
Anyone have a primary source? While "As far as I know" answers can be helpful, in this case it still leaves a possibility - which is exactly where I started.
I don't know, but I would guess that it would not. Microsoft wants to make money, and supporting ad-ins is one of the biggest reasons to pony up the dough for the standard edition. Ad-in support alone can replace a lot of the stuff that you pay for, like SVN and other source control integration, test framework integration, resharper, etc.
I know this is an old question, but it came up on a search for "Visual Studio 2012 Express Add-ins".
Here is a quote from a post by Ryan Molden (MSFT) on the Visual Studio forums:
"Express does not support AddIns. The reason it has the extension manager is that it supports project/item templates."
My experience is that the same applies to Visual Studio 2012 Express.
As far as I know, the policy regarding Add-In's and Express editions has not changed.
I use Visual Studio 2k8 Pro Edition at home and I have loaded it with a lot of important addins customised for my development.
If I get VS2010 Pro Edition, would all of these plugins fail to work? Is this a plugin-related matter or down to Visual Studio itself? E.g. Visual Studio 2010 may just be based on the 2008 version but with enhancements (is it?).
Thanks
You can always download the beta and try them out.
Impossible to say without seeing it in practice. Seriously. We don't know which plug-ins you're using so we've no idea how they're going to react to a new VS version...
But even you had told us, you'd save yourself a lot of time just installing VS 2010 in a VM and trying your plug-ins out.
Nope at least Resharper 4.5 is not working in VS2010
No. Unmanaged addins are COM objects that are tied to the version of the IDE environment. For the most part, the addins just need to be rebuilt with only minor changes though.
EDIT: Addins that go beyond using the standard addin interfaces though will probably require retooling for the VS2010 environment.
EDIT 2: Managed addins are typically deployed using .addin files which are sometimes located in "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins". The .addin file is an xml file that can be edited by hand. You can try adding a new HostApplication element to the file for a particular managed addin - and specify version 10.0.
Here is the info on the resharper compatibility:
