I just want to chime in here, and this is in no way a comment on anything Steve did. It's more in the way of venting against what I see as a bad trend.

I think that mixing version control into the code development IDE is just Wrong. Version control is hard enough with dedicated tools. Letting the IDE developers have a whack at introducing their own bugs is asking for serious trouble. I always do my checkins/outs with a separate app. Sometimes on the command line if I'm really paranoid, but SmartCVS actually works pretty well too.

Having said that, I will share my recent experiences in Visual Studio Land. Visual Studio 8 is, IMHO, a POS in many ways. (For fairness, Xcode is a POS in its charming ways too. Don't get me started about linking issues.) And they-who-must-not-be-named have set things up so that it is intimately connected to Visual Source Safe (their version control system), and they also caution you that "All project creation and manipulation within VSS should be performed by using the integrated VSS support menus within Visual Studio .NET - don't use VSS Explorer for this." This does not make me feel warm and fuzzy. And since we use CVS for version control, I'm wondering what magic I don't know about that's going to trip me up later. As I said, integrating things this way is just Wrong.

All my opinion, of course. :-)

Best regards to all,
Rush
