My 2 cents.

Tried it - didn't like it. I think that this tool locks you too much into the M$ way
- which means less portable code. I do all my coding right now in HomeSite. This
includes HTML, Perl, Javascript, ASP/VB Scripting, Bash Shell, et.al.

I also don't think like M$ would like when it comes to coding - so their tools leave
me feeling stupid. I dabble with them when new releases come out and it just
entrenches the feeling.

Nothing beats an editor you are comfortable with and a few good books to get done
what you need to do.

Your mileage may vary.
