Definitely not -- after all why would Microsoft even contemplate that
you were going to buy anything other than Microsoft product -- but there
are various plug-ins for Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, etc. to allow them to
make checkouts of TFS hosted repositories.  It's just web services so no
big deal.  Though the conspiracy theorists will undoubtedly want to
worry about all the hidden checks etc. to hobble non-Microsoft products.

Personally I'll just stick with Bazaar, Mercurial and Git.
