The XML Schema designer has been removed in Visual Studio 2008, for those people who deals with XML everyday (OpenXML, SharePoint), coding XML Schema in plain text can be a pain sometimes. I read in the XML Team’s blog that there will be a new schema designer but it didn’t make it to RTM. The CTP only works with Beta 2 for now, so VS2008 RTM is left without a graphical XML Schema editor.
