Having used sourcesafe, it's a ***ing nuisance if more than one programmer wants/needs to work on the same code at the same time.
Look at using a DVCS such as git in addition to / instead of it. Even if you use TFS as your main source control, if programmers use git as their local source control they can write and test their work without needing to check out the central code. Then when they're ready, sync their local tree to the centre, checkout, one last QA run of their changes, checkin, and off they go again. That way, the central repository is only ever checked out for short intervals, and even if several programmers are working on the same code, they aren't trampling over each other's code.
