manage your projects.

	I use them and my friend uses them.  I have also managed various
projects with gmake and make. 
	Overall I would say VCs projects are better when all you are doing
is compiling C or C++ code.  Things start to break even if you have to run
a couple of scripts/programs during the build process and if you have to
do anything complex, then gmake/make become quite a bit easier.
