compiler suyver

Ah, i think of borland c++ builder as more like visual basic than visual c++...

Of those two, I would say VS.Net is better than Borland Builder 3.0(the only version I''ve used), because Builder isn''t ''pure'' C++. Its more like a Delphi/C++ hybrid language created by Borland, though you can write just C++ if you want(but then you can''t use any of the RAD part of it, which means you migh as well use the free borland command line tools instead).

I really loved the Borland C++ IDE; I don''t know why the dropped it and started making Builder instead.

Grudgingly, I have to go with VS.NET. I preferred VS6.0, but I''ve gotten too used to all the context-sensitive information in VS.NET. Heck, it makes Hungarian notation pointless when you can just float your cursor over a variable to get its type, and that''s a good enough reason for me.

But for purity''s sake, I prefer gcc and g++. (That, and it''s free. ) Though MS fixed a bundle of ANSI noncompliances (finally) in VS.NET, they''ve also introduced even more platform-specific code than before. If you''re looking to go crossplatform, go GNU.
