Dev-C++ was my first free c++ IDE.

Thanks be to the Bloodshed developers -- you're doing a good job!

I moved on to Borland bcc 5.5. and Context
(http://www.fixedsys.com/context/) -- both free and this setup does a great
job building programs that use certain Win2000 specific API's that mingw and
cygwin haven't implemented yet.

A small suggestion to the Dev-C++ - if you made the Dev-C++ IDE able to
invoke the command line and parse return messages like 'Context' does ---
well, that would be the icing on the cake because it could then work with
Borland's compiler as well.

I found I had to upgrade to VC++ when beginning work in DirectX 8
applications, Dev wasn't easy to work with then. But I found it invaluable
starting off in the big world of programming.
Let's raise a glass to it ;)
