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,

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 ;)

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.

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

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.

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.
