IOCP is great, just annoying you can't use it with process stdin/stdout/stderr HANDLEs, at least if you do things "by the book". Thick driver sandwiches in Wind

IOCP is great, just annoying you can't use it with process stdin/stdout/stderr HANDLEs, at least if you do things "by the book". Thick driver sandwiches in Windows... not so great. Visual Studio a great IDE... well, the debugger isn't amazing unless you're dealing with a self-contained bug (often find myself using windbg instead). Basic operations (typing, moving caret, changing tab, find, etc.) are slow at least on my Xeon gold workstation.
