All kidding aside, VC++ is really the best option out there for doing
Win32 work.  Since you don't do Win32 work, you don't need it.  I (more
rarely as time goes on) still code an app against the Win32 API from
time-to-time.  VC++ gives me just enough "help"[0] to really speed along
my development for Win32, without getting in my way.

Disclaimer: I still use VC++ 6.0.  No way in hell will I upgrade to that
.net garbage.
