Visual Studio 2005 Standard or Professional ?

Quote from local_crusher:

I know GNU GCC well and like it, but I'd say it's immature to assume this compiler suite can be compared to VS2005 (cl.exe and the IDE).

VS2005 has things like intelligent background compilation and a superior debugger, nothing open-sourced even comes close yet.

That's nothing unusual - there are likely millions of hours of menpower behind it.

Its nice but it requires vendor lockin to use it.

...particularly useless if your dont intend to target only $soft. So, while I agree it is nice, it is a $soft only solution. Good engineers can be as productive in other environments - although they will complain that its not VS :D
 
prt, all backend I develop is 100% POSIX compliant and for frontends I use Qt.

Does that answer your question?

And yes, for developing I use the most productive environment, that's VS.

Deployment is another question.

yes you could do that ... but if you want something other than POSIX compliance then its a very expensive front end that is not very useful. It is simpler to use a differnet solution in my opinion - just as productive and cheaper.
