I have never really used AVR Studio 4 (not an active AVR user,
more a PIC/ARM user). But we are now using AVR Studio 5
with AVR UC3 (AVR32) for our the libusbk (next generation libusb-win32)
project testing and it works quite okay (other than high speed
USB ISOC transfer). The developer (Travis Robinson)
likes AVR Studio 5 a lot since he is a Visual Studio
user. I am the tester and I am okay with AVR Studio 5 as well.

But of course this is not considered a production
grade firmware.

Tools used:
AVR Studio 5 with built-in AVR Software Framework.
AVR Dragon, sponsored by Atmel
UC3-A3 Xplained, sponsored by Atmel
AT90USBKEY (not yet used),  sponsored by Atmel

Codes:
http://code.google.com/p/usb-travis/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FBmFW%2FAVR%2FASF%2FBenchmark
(Take note the LUFA based codes for AT90USB are not official code
and not working yet).
