Using Visual Studio has it's advantages, it handles the creation and inclusion of manifests automatically. It handles x64 projects.  It's easy to include C/C++ modules into your projects.  You can use MSBuild to build your MASM projects from the command line or batch files.  Plus it has an excellent debugger.

The advantages are outweighing the disadvantages.

I actually use the VS 6.0 debugger sometimes however over time and out of fustration with missing features I've ended up writing a lot of my own libraries.... I dont think this is neccessarily a bad thing, it does mean I havent migrated to 64 bit yet and every version of VS I consider whether or not I should dump my setup for theirs but it's a tough decision to take. My aim is to replace ml altogether eventually one day and not have to worry about external software at all but I'm still a long way off that :lol....

Here is Kip Irvine's tutorial on Getting Started with MASM and Visual Studio 2010.  He now recommends using a "bare bones" project as the easiest way to start a new MASM project.  When I get the time I'll list the steps to create a new MASM project from scratch.
