We use C++ because of out chosen GUI framework, wxWindows. One of our developers uses Borland to compile on Windows. He has access to VC++, doesn't like it. He uses (of course) GCC on Linux. Personally, I use MingW on Windows, and GCC on Linux. The similarity of the two makes life easier for my easily confused mind. I also have had/used VC++, didn't like it (too big, too bloated, too heavy) and installed it. Our code, to the degree we don't muck up the source, compiles and runs very nicely, thank you, in Linux and Windows (we are still looking for a regular Mac developer.) My point here is that developers -should- have freedom of choice where such alternatives do exist. > The other tool chains (free) work on windows, but do not really compare to > VC for the debugging and IDE etc, I keep them around to compile linux stuff, > but anything I want to work on I generally convert to VC. This gives a big > startup overhead. Granted, with the proviso that the degree this is required varies with the complexity and scope of any given project. Also, "debugging" in the traditional sense is progressively losing ground to a "failed test first" methodology, so this is becoming less of an issue. > I don't think cost is an issue, window is a user pays world.

If a free tool does the job, it should not be arbitrarily "legislated out" in favor of a vastly more expensive (in multiple ways) tool. > Ruby on windows is never free - you have to pay for 1 the machine, 2 the OS > and if you want to develop the you also pay for VC.

It is important to maintain the FREEdom option, even under Windows. Regards, Kent Starr elderburn@mindspring.com
