From a technical standpoint, nothing. As a tool it works ok enough.

My reaction is purely out of distaste for microsoft and purely a branding thing.

The issue is mostly just

1) Microsoft created it

2) It uses "Visual" in the name, typical microsoft branding

3) it is designed for heavy GUI users in mind. Us linux guys who use emacs or vim are going to see the microsofty design still just from the fact that like all GUIs written by microsoft the hot keys are weak and it relies on users who are ok using a mouse instead of hot keys.
