- raverbashing 14y agoThis But maybe the .NET SDK keeps being free. It's a real pity, but well, Visual Studio didn't have a Express version "back then" before the .NET days (think Visual Studio 6) This may very well be another reason not to use Windows
- axusgrad 14y agoI'm grateful for the continued development of MinGW and MSYS. It makes porting to Linux much easier.
- law 14y agoI used to be devoted VS2010 user, but when C++11 came out, I realized that Microsoft had no intention of incorporating all of the changes into its products in the near future. Accordingly, I moved to MinGW with gcc 4.7 and use Code::Blocks as my IDE. Although I'm giving up a considerable amount of usability, the trade off was well worth it.
