Any chance of creating a module / revamping your product to integrate with Visual studio?

One of the greatest threats to OpenVMS I see is actually the opening up of Windows

The new MS ceo is opening up windows like there is no tomorrow and interfacing to everything and pushing the tools necessary to make that happen

Even .net is being open sourced

Visual studio is a great development environment and MS are opening this up as well and are offering 5 free seats on their cloud version and their cloud version is tying all sorts of things together, such a git repositories and whatever, MS certainly have turned over a new leaf (I am not an MS advocate btw but I do notice the change in their company line)
