We need to reach those "Joe"'s to inform them that development with Gnu
tools are just as free (monetarily) and even freer in the long run
[morally free, as well as the fact that his "customers" need not spend
$$$ on "the rest" of the product line]

Tom,

Before we can do that we need a legitimate replacement for VS2005/2008.
It's just too easy for those average Joes to pick-up VS and become
productive that there's no reason for them to use anything else.  At this
point, Linux really doesn't have anything like it.
