As Herfried said, assemblies are not copìed to the GAC during DEVELOPMENT.
The GAC is a deployment feature for final apps on the machines of clients,
not a development feature. While developing, your project has references to
shared assemblies outside the GAC, in some folder. For example, the .NET
Framework dlls are in the GAC (for final apps) and also in other folder,
such as C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322, and the xml files are
in that folder, not in the GAC. In fact, the Add Reference dialog of VS.NET
does not show assemblies in the GAC, it shows assemblies in folders listed
in some special registry entries such as
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio \7.1\AssemblyFolders and
several others.

What if you are using a complex commercial library, or open source
library,
in many projects? Copying it to the GAC would make sense, and you very
well
might want Intellisense for it.
