“Integrate Altova's latest release of xmlspy 2004 into your existing Visual Studio .NET projects. You'll save time avoiding the annoying switch between the xmlspy and VS.NET editors.”
Am I the only person that isn't big on integrating everything into VS.NET? A good number of developers have multiple monitors these days and it's great to have things spread out in front of you so you can quickly scan for information, write a quick query, etc. I never use the built-in database stuff because of this. I haven't played with Yukon yet, but I hear that it, as well as Whitehorse and who knows what else, will live within VS.NET. Regarding “the annoying switch“, you have ALT+Tab for switching apps or CTRL+Tab for switching windows in an app. I find CTRL+Tab more annoying, thank you.
If anyone's counting votes, count me as favoring separate apps. Better yet, make it an option to run in VS.NET or in it's own instance.
