Is it possible to create rules in Visual Studio?

Some thoughts: Please consider not GA'ing this until the solution is a fully integrated end-to-end process.  At a high level, I picture configuring OS desktop with the source control repo connection info and a means of pulling the currently checked in code from the repo.  Keep all versioning, branching, check in/out etc. in the respective IDE.  An IDE plugin should carry over the ability to generate shell assemblies and business rules as the current OS Desktop provides.

I think a not fully integrated solution risks creating more problems than it solves.

As a platform, we have to be flexible on the tooling we enable. If we mandated Visual Studio or GitHub, for example, we would dramatically simplify the problem landscape but also set a bar that a lot of partners will just not (want to) clear. Instead, we will provide enough to (hopefully) enable any tooling, and provide guidance on standard practices to cover the entire development lifecycle.
