Re: Alternatives to MSVC was RE: [GD-Windows] Visual C++ .Net

I doubt it.  How many software monopolies do you know? Ha ha!!

Seriously, about 6 months ago I switched from using SGI Unix and gcc/cvd,
to NT MSVC 6.0(NT was not my choice but eh..)  I love it.  It can do so much
more than what I thought I needed.

Now  I want C++ compliance, and MS libraries to be namespaced.
I hate compiler name conflicts!! Grrrrrr.....Rectangle in windows.h??
Give me a break.  First year programmers must love that one.

However, I would love to get the editor to reckognize VI commands.
Then I would be in a golden age!!  (I hope that already exists. :-)
