Code Warrior IDE

I bought a game programing book and it recomends me using Code Warrior as my IDE. But I am still using MSVC++ and the progs work fine. Any ideas about why they would recomend Code Warrior? A statement on the cdrom says it is what the Proffesionals use but I was under the inpression that most game companies used MSVC++ 7.0 - 8.0.

Is code warrior even worth considering? :confused:

Maybe the book author works for or has connections to Metrowerks, or simply feels that the Code Warrior IDE is the best for game programming?
