Further more, I would be very wary of tieing yourselves to a Microsoft API.  They 
tend to be a moving taget, and are very expensive to support because of the large 
changes that occur from release to release. (just look at the MAPI interfaces, or the 
Com interfaces).

I would prefer to see a general API, such that an enterprising consultant or someone 
else can do that work.  This would free up our intellij friends to work on those 
things 
that are simply not possible through a general API (like improvements in the editor, 
or better refactorings, etc).

I would even go so far to say that I would prefer more general and broad features 
over clearcase integration (even though I use clearcase), because I find the external 
tool support to be adequate in most cases. 

A final note on all Configuration Management integrations.  It appears that they are 
quite difficult.  The number of CVS Integratio bugs in the last several months of this 
release seemed to be quite high.  I would guess 40% of the total number of bugs.  If 
this is a sign of the complexity of these integrations, I would wonder if it is really 
worth the effort.  Perhaps support for an external tool "checkout " such that 
refactorings that need to modify a read-only file can call the "checkout" command 
would provide a moderate amount of integration without expense of a full 
integration.
