well, you can edit the stored files with a poor editor inside VSS. So it
actually IS possible to develop software, or can even write a novel.
however, it is not possible to compile and build your software with it.
So VSS is not an integrated development environment (IDE) like visual
studio (VS).

I'd say that you are correct because VSS is not an IDE. however, it is
possible to write texts with it and therefore you could use it to write
software (although nobody does it)
