In retrospect, do you feel it was it a bad idea to not use a heavier abstraction?
- pjmlp 6y agoI am aware of it, hence my remark. It was a bad idea versus what other compiler vendors had in their toolbox. MFC only won because Microsoft is the OS vendor, and Borland lost it trying to fly too high. Back in the MS-DOS and Windows 3.x very few would use Microsoft compilers, Borland and Watcom were the favourite.
