Have any one used web matrix??

I am use web matrix for my asp.net project because visual studio is too expensive for me. But thing is it is only 1.3 MB is size and visual studio .Net is more then 2 GB in size! If it is going to do same thing than what is the main difference between Web Matrix and visual studio .Net??

webmatrix looks almost exactly like visual stdio, but has some important subtractions...

Firstly there is the lack of 'nitellisense' that thing that fills in what you are typing before you type it.

the other important difference is that visual studio.NET includes VB compiler, C compiler java# tools and various other things.

it also includes a new and updated packageand deployment wizard that allows you to create MSI files to install programs.

theextensibility projects allow you to write toolbar addins for many windows apps
