It would make me ever so happy if Visual Micro silenced the warning:

fcmenu.cpp : In function 'state_t menuMinRunTime(button_t)'
fcmenu.cpp : Warning: only initialized variables can be placed into program memory area
fcmenu.cpp : Warning: only initialized variables can be placed into program memory area 

This useless gcc warning makes it really tough to spot actual warnings in the compiler output. I believe this was fixed in avr-gcc some time ago but who knows when Arduino is going to get that version. Note that it displays the function name once then one warning for each PSTR(), F(), or PROGMEM data value.

Have I mentioned how much more productive I am in Visual Micro than I am under Arduino? I had forgotten how easy using visual studio is to write code and how their editor isn't pants-on-head insane. Love it!

Nope! The "latest" WinAVR is from 2010, and this was fixed in 2011. There are avr-gcc v4.7 binaries available for windows, but those break the Arduino core due to some minor code fixups. I'd rather not have to alter my arduino core for compatibility reasons, so the next best thing (for me) would be to just hide the messages. Too bad gcc doesn't support suppressing warning types in a generic manner!
