Subversion is a great product that I feel is a strong alternative for these developers especially now that 1.0 is out) but *NOT* if they cannot use the product without changing the way they develop or utilizing a hack or custom build to achieve this (which will almost never fly in larger organizations - at least not where I am from).

By the way, we still have to use VS.net 2002 on many, many apps so the prospect of Whidbey solving the problem is simply not factual (plus we'll be lucky if it releases this year).
The perceived 'aggressiveness' comes from the fact that people come in,
don't check the list history. If they had, they would have seen that
there have been multiple threads on this subject, all with the same
conclusion.
We've seen a few _very_ vocal people who seem to be affected by the
VS.NET/IIS bug. The only reason I feel justifies working on the
'issue', which has several workarounds, is to get those vocal people
to stop pushing a bulk of mail to my and other list subscribers
mailboxes.
I agree with Mike that now is not the time to discuss this. And,
observation, the threads on the topic have not been like other
discussions on list. People who like 'heated discussions' don't
seem to realize that this effectively gags people who don't like
this, and, that the arguments, good or bad, get lost in the noise.
