Hello,

Read this:

==

Visual Studio is not really comparable to C++ Builder.

Yes they are both C++ compilers but:

1- Visual Studio is only RAD when using .NET languages
2- MFC is 'semi-rad' but does not come close to ease of use of VCL
3- Visual Studio compiler is better at producing optimized code, but C++ 
Builder uses Clang which is pretty good
4- Visual Studio and C++Builder are both standards compliant (CB using 
Clang-based compilers)
5- C++ Builder comes with Boost
6- C++ Builder XE is much better than previous versions (not including 
Builder C++ 6.0)
7- You can't beat the RAD tools in C++ Builder for C++ development, 
nothing comes close

The biggest recommendation I can make is DO NOT MOVE TO MFC, that's 
where the pain starts.


With all that said, when I was given a choice for a client between 
moving to VS2008/2010 or Builder C++ for a new product, I picked 
Builder, just for the RAD IDE.

Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
