I have used VI since it's release and will be moving to VS Pro 2003
tomorrow. I am hoping that the transition will not be too bad.
I always use FrontPage for layout, (basic I know but it aint broke or
bloated in my opinion), then plug in the ASP using VI.
The Query Builder in VI is second none and I know it has been enhanced in
the later versions of VI. It makes me smile when I see so called ASP/SQL
Gurus hand coding their multi-table queries, stored procs, triggers and when
they can be created within a few clicks and the odd drag and drop within VI.
Same for designing SQL tables and making Db design changes etc.
Debugging is good too although a bit hit and miss on my machine. Have never
got remote debugging to work properly, but have debugged from ASP through to
VB with COM components etc... sure more to come with the .NET versions.
I don't like the WYSIWYG editing side of VI.

I'm using Visual Studio 6 Interdev for my ASP pages, but reading from
some posts here and there I've read people don't use it and use other
editors. What other editor could be better?
Right now I can do step by step debugging with Interdev, with watches
and with an immediate window just like in VB6 where I can see values of
variables as the program runs. Are there any better editors that let
me do the same thing? (pref. free of course)
