Its nice but it is 10 years old and aimed at C++.
It still does C just fine, though. It's a very good C compiler with a fine IDE. In fact, on the rare occasions when I use Windows, it's my C compiler of choice. (And I'm Mr Anti-Microsoft!)
Hmmm, that may be true for small to middle projects.
However, the fact that some of the standard headers lead to warnings,
that you cannot rely on the optimisation to produce the same programme
behaviour as unoptimised code, and that it cannot compile and link
projects of a certain size in Debug mode make it a beginners' tool in
my eyes.
As for the last two points: VS2005 looks much better in these respects.
I evaluated it only for a short time, though.
<OT>
For C++ code, I still got many warnings out of standard headers.
Fills one with confidence.
