Definitely. Many developers that use Windows don't treat it much
differently than we do other operating systems. Personally I have never
used any of the tortoise tools, simply as find the command-line more
productive for almost everything I do. It is quite rare that I browse my
source trees using Windows explorer. I almost never use the source control
features built into my IDE. The command-line is more flexible and less RSI
inducing than Explorer. If an installer has an option to disable windows
shell integration, I almost always check it!
That said, I understand that lots and lots of people who use cvs/svn on
windows - quite probably a majority - use tortoise and swear by it.
Cheers,
Mark
