  Even though I use Visual C++ for my payjob, I have never actually
made even a single CLI program with it. Let us know your experiences
in doing that.

  Visual C++ might look cool and fancy, with all of its graphical user
interfaces, configuration dialogs, source file editor, context help and
whatnot, but I bet it will feel very daunting at first. There are so
many options and buttons that you might feel a bit lost. You might even
start missing the simple "g++ program.cc" way of compiling a program. ;)

  Oh, and that just for creating CLI programs. You can probably forget
about creating win32 programs. The learning curve is steep. No, it's not
steep. It's a vertical wall.
