  Editor not only formats the code for us for increased readibility but also provides code hints which helps to code faster and reduces manual consulting.

  I am sure u are not going to work for free even if java or linux and tomcat are free..there is no harm in making money..If MS is doing it what is wrong? As for proprietory ownership and all..i love to own my house..i cant make it open source and allow anyone to live in it..how much will u enjoy your code being tampered by some other developer? not much huh?

  Wrong. You CAN program VB or C-Sharp on notepad. And the software SDK is a free download from Microsoft. The SDK includes a command line compiler, as well as everything else needed to build complete .NET apps. Visual Studio .NET is not free, but it certainly isn't necessary for building apps.
