A new interesting project is starting in these days: Sharepoint Explorer.
Sharepoint Explorer will allow the developers to administer and explore a Sharepoint site from Visual Studio .NET, essentially like actually Server or Solution Explorers works now on VS.
According to the project documentation and ambitions, the developer will be able to browse the whole portal through a tree structure (like the actual Windows Explorer), and view webparts, properties, etc. for each Sharepoint site. By doing a right click on a site or webpart you will be able to view it in the Visual Studio browser or IE. There would also be a limited amount of administrative tasks the developer could perform, tasks like creating/deleting sites, security, and others that can be decided as the project is planned.
The project sounds really cool... a nice addin for Visual Studio that can help the work of many of us.
