    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,

    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?

        In my case I prefer VS. I have worked with Borland in the past and I've found it very easy to handle the VCL objects and components, but it is more powerful to use the MFC if needed. Hope this helps.

          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.
