I used to use visual basic , right now i like to step into C++, I thought that Visual C++ is the best, but was astonished that many people use others(Dev and Borland..........etc)
why? Im wondering............thanks in advance

Visual C++ is a good compiler, if u can afford a couple hundred dollars, most people use Dev-C++ because:
1) Yes, it is a good compiler (not as good as VC++ IMO)
2) Visual C++ is a bit out of their price range (Dev-C++ is free)
3) They are beginners
[EDIT]
Oh and another thing, if u dont switch VC++ to release mode, you get extreamly big filesizes

"There are three kinds of people in the world...
Those that can count and those that can't."
gcc exists almost everywhere. (it's what powers gcc). and it's free. it can do a lot of stuff that vc++ can do, given the right configuration.
borland also released a free command line compiler. it also does much of what visual c++ does. it's also very simple to use.
