Functionality in VS and Eclipse clients
Accepted answer
Sterling,
the short answer is no. As far as I know, for administration you need to use the Web UI or the Eclipse UI. There are still some few things that require to use the Eclipse UI, but the gap is closing over time.

Web UI should be used for doing the administrative activities. The idea is that if you are a Visual Studio user, you should be able to perform all the activities using the Visual Studio client and Web UI, without needing to install an Eclipse Client.
While this is true in general, there are still some limitations on the Web UI for project administration (e.g. attribute customization and configuring operational behavior) today. They are being worked on and will hopefully disappear sometime. Just be aware that there are gaps between the Web UI and the Eclipse UI for administration and some small tasks still require Eclipse.
