I'm surprised that you find Vim unintuitive elsewhere and talk about "just" creating a project in VS. VS projects in the IDE are one of the most convoluted development ways I've ever seen. Students won't learn anything except developing Stockholm Syndrom for a bloated proprietary environment. If it must be Windows, I'd rather teach cl.exe and Makefiles or adapted .vsproj files with msbuild.

> I'm surprised that you find Vim unintuitive elsewhere and talk about "just" creating a project in VS. Just go to the "File" menu, Click "New project" there, choose the type (a console app or a GUI app), enter the name and press Ok. The teacher shown us when I was a kid and nobody found this difficult. Of course, we never cared (until grown up and started to care about versioning) about the auxiliary files the IDE created to accompany the code in the project - understanding those never happened to be a necessity.
