You can still use the VC++ or VS.Net IDE to debug and write code using
the new build system.

One of the motivations for the build system is that it is more difficult
than it needs to be to keep those .dsp files up to date - for example,
there are a number of them that have inconsistent defines and paths set
for different targets (Debug_TS and Release_TS) and some of those targets
for some projects won't even work at all.

One of the Zend projects won't correctly regenerate a scanner or parser
unless you build with a particular target first, before switching to
the target you need (I don't recall the precise details, but you can
see this by looking at the custom build steps for flex/bison in the .dsp).

I know that people tend to stick to what works well for them,
but hopefully you'll all get converted over to the new build system
so that we can eventually drop those .dsp files ;-)
