Ken - 

You can continue to check your "cranky old man hand-written" code in 
and out of SourceSafe without using VisualStudio. We use it at work 
to do just that. It's actually kind of a nice tool. We have a plugin 
that allows us to update our Linux servers from a Windoze server 
running the SS database.

VisualStudio is evil. It was bad enough when it was Visual C++, but 
it's way worse now. Push a wizard button and watch megabytes of code 
get generated, using templated classes that nobody can understand. I 
escaped two years ago and revel in my (comparative) freedom from 
MicroSloth.
