I disagree on being dismissive or smug. I did not claim VS was superior - my intent was to point it out as obvious prior art since the article and several comments in this thread gave the impression that an integrated view to development was a 'new' way to look at things or that one required this or that combination of third party tools to manage it. In this context I feel pointing out that VS has this 'single view' methodogy as the default setting was merited.

How would have you liked me to expose the prior art on Visual Studio, other than state that it existed, that it was very nice, and that it was a bit strange it was not mentioned in the article?
