    Anything better than MSVC++?
    « on: May 19, 2009, 03:00:11 PM »
    As the title entails, I'd like to know if there's any better IDE than Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. The debug mode lags to *censored*, and once it even disconnected me from the internet. Maybe that was just my router resetting itself... again... Also, builds take forever and sometimes it even crashes on me when I have a loooong code >_>; I've already tried Dev-C++ and it didn't really work out too well xD. Anyways, a little help please? =/

    If I'm on a XP machine, I'll use Visual C++ 6; if I need to run vista, I'll use another language  :P

    Although watcom C++ seemed at least as good, if not better then VC++.

    For me, all the visual studios are laggy as heck when debugging and starting up, I got rid of them because they were taking up tooo much space for my needs.

    Version six isn't laggy at all. Ctrl+Alt+T shows up instantly, just like VB6's Ctrl+J.

    now the .NET environments, on the other hand...

    I meant all the 2008 ones. They're fairly bulky (if you can't even install Maple Story) and very slow.

    2008 barely runs on my XP machine. 2005 is better. but still I ask myself why I bother since I never use them.

    The professional editions come with the MSDN library, though, which I find fairly handy. I've pretty much read everything in the April 2000 MSDN library snapshot that I got with Visual Studio 6.0 a few years ago (I'm dead serious- I was reading KB articles for programs I had never even heard of- it was reading material, after all)
