Hi, While I have in the past had good experience with the projectfiles and they worked well for me, I agree for the following reasons:
1. The effort to keep them up-to-date and working has increased by a considerable amount due to the many and fast changes with Blender 2.5 development and it still doesn't seem to slow down. I haven't checked recently, but I believe they still don't install the files in the new locations and to be consistent also work would be required to move them into the build_folders. (This btw. would need to be fixed for the cmake files on Windows as well, but I think is much less work) 2. I have found myself with less time for Blender development due to my day job and I think I'd rather spend my time developing something rather than maintaining a build system that is probably the least used. 3. The project files generated by the cmake files are not perfect and I definitely had some linking issues where nobody could help (WITH_INTERNATIONAL), so I had to disable that. Still I think that probably it is better to spend time improving the cmake files rather than trying to keep the vcproject files up to date. Also with more people using the cmake files hopefully they can be further improved and fixed where necessary. So +1 from me.
