asp.net applications?
I'm curious if there's actually any difference between Visual Studio and
Visual Web Developer in terms of the type of web applications you can
build etc?
Reading on the web only seems to bring up Microsoft documentation that
states it's primarily for 'hobbyists' and not for professionals.
So this has me a bit hesitant to start a major commercial application
using it, instead of going out and purchasing Visual Studio.
Is the 'hobbyist' thing just them trying to get you to buy a product you
otherwise wouldn't need?
(we don't use SourceSafe, so integration with SourceSafe isn't a
requirement - one thing I understand Web Developer doesn't have)

There a product feature comparison here :

Also, there's some differences listed here:

thanks.
So generally speaking, there are no limitations in using Visual Web
Developer to create a powerful web application?
The only limits are on how the development takes place, is that right?
i.e. one could theoretically create ebay.com using Visual Web Developer?

Depending on how you define "a powerful web application", no limitations.

A bit more than that but, esssentially, except for Mobile Device support,
which VWD doesn't have, you're limited in that VWD doesn't support :
Source Control
Local database development only ( can't modify db's remotely from the IDE )
No Class Designer
No Object Test Bench
No Crystal Reports ( you must use SQL Reporting Services )
No remote debugging ( local only )
No 64-bit Compiler Support
No Server Explorer ( servers node )
No Code profiling
No Static analysis analysis
No Unit testing
No Code coverage
No Project Management
No Test case management
No support for command-line Class Library ( must compile manually )
No development for Office programs

Yes, although you'll have to work a little harder without the tools listed above.

you aren't constrained to one tool. Real developers don't use Visual Studio for everything.
ASP.net websites can be developed with any text editor.
If one tool is missing a feature, finish the job with another tool.
