Let me get this straight.

Exploring C++ EE, and trying a new Windows Forms project, it was nice to
be able have the similar Delphi-like (and VB IDE GUI development) but
its all new source code language.

Is MFC GUI development no longer support under the new VS 2005 IDE?

In short, I couldn't use the new IDE to compile my MFC based projects.
Right?

Thanks.

What's C++ EE?

Yes - choose Win32 applications.

No, it's still fully supported. You can load your existing projects
(the IDE will convert them to the new formats) and try re-building
them. There may be somethings you need to change in the code, but it
shouldn't be an enormous task.
