If I change code on Windows, I always use MSVC to edit it. It's best
integrated with the build process and the debugger. If I change Python
code on Windows, I use vim or IDLE.

Different MSVC releases took different approaches wrt. LF-separated
files. For a long time, new lines added would be CRLF, whereas existing
line endings would remain unchanged, resulting in a mix of line endings.
It appears that VS 2008 now uniformly converts the entire file to CRLF
on first edit.
