Choosing a Environment
-
Hi all, So the other day my boss asked me to make a decision on whether we should continue using Borland C++ Builder 2006 or whether we should make a shift to Visual Studio 2005. So I thought lets hear what the CP members have so say. So which one would you choose and why? Many Thanks Regards,

Have you found a Community Dist. agent? Maybe you can use the Orcas beta in making your decision. If you like Orcas beta, then VS2005 is the right step in that direction.

I don't know Borland C++ Builder 2006 but why is VS so great? Integration, integration... Does VS have better intellisense? Better debugger? Better plugins? Integration with more languages? (Even if you stick with C++, for some interop it sure is handy? ) btw, Choosing an Environment ;)

Well as I said I don't know C++ Builder so I can't answer that for you, but you can get trial version or express edition of VS and find out, I was just pointing where I think VS is very strong.

Borland is fading away, try to find a site similar to :bob:land that supports it.

Having used both, I prefer VS 2005. Borland has good tools, but I think that VS 2005 has a richer feature set. Besides, for the amount of $$$ it takes to get into Borland, you can spend roughly the same amount and get into MSDN and get a whole lot more than just a development environment.

Is there something that Borland C++ Builder 2006 is not doing for you?

One reason to go with VS 2005 is that it's much easier to hire people. It also gives you a more marketable skill. On the other hand, you become more replaceable.
