Primary advantage is a better more standard compliant compiler and
run-time debugging/diagnostics facilities. The IDE is better in some
ways, and worse in others! Many people miss Class Wizard, it's
replacements are very poor substitutes.

Stick with VC6, it's not worth the effort to 'upgrade' to VS 200x. That's
my conclusion after more than 18 months study.

Cheers

I am a great fan of VS 6.0. I have also used VS2003 and VS2005 beta. I
will stick to VS 6.0. Do have any ideea if VS200x are written in .NET
or vc++? This is the main question!!!
