I do have to say that after having downloaded Visual C++ Express, I find it somewhat ironic that thus far I’ve spent about 15 minutes using the GUI interface. The rest of the time (several hours of programming stuff) has been all through the command line. Yup, I’ve been using notepad to write the code and then just compiling it through the command line. All the lovely GUI stuff they give you…well, I’ll use it when I start coding for Windows, I suppose. As it is, I’m just looking at logic for the moment, and nothing beats a simple notepad code for testing logic.
After all, wading through all the extra code for the Windows just to find that you accidentally put “if(var1 = var2)” instead of “if(var1 == var2)” is a pain in the rear.
