There, let me slap the post into the marketing category and maybe this will be clearer. Don Box responds to my post on eating your own dogfood. It's interesting that Don apparently uses VS in private and then publically uses a text editor in a marketing demo. I watched that demo with a bunch of other developers recently. More than a few walked away from it saying "boy, VS must suck if even the MS guys won't use it". This is all about perception, not reality. What you do in a public marketing demo has consequences. Regardless of what message Don wanted to send, another one implicitly went out.
