RE: [GD-Windows] VC++ lag

[David N. <dno...@mi...>]

If you guys can provide a list things where vs can improve (from its
latest version), with arguments such as (X sucks because this, this and
that. Blah doesn't work in this situation), I'll be happy to forward
your list of petitions to the VS team.

That's because for MS's large scale projects they don't use workspaces,=20
and they do use something that looks a whole lot like make.  It's called

NT Build, and you can get it with the DDK.  With an external build=20
utility, VC can just be the debugger and you don't have to worry about=20
its internal dependency checker being slow.

We use a makefile-type solution here on a much smaller-scale project,=20
and it works great - I would never go back to workspaces for any real=20
project.
