Thread: MingW and windows programming.

I have (given in to evil and) begun to read Petzold's 5th Edition and I am currently using the GCC-based MingW compiler. I have two main questions (or one depending on how you look at it).
1: If I would like to make good Windows Apps, possibly on a commercial level, should I switch compilers?
I know I'm probably going to end up needing a resource editor, etc. soon also, which brings us to question two.
2: Are there good resource editors out there besides Borlands Builder and VC++?

Thanks for the help : ).

Dev-C++ is an IDE with MingW and a WxWindow resource editor.

An other compiler is Lcc-Win32.
It comes with an IDE and a resource editor,
but compiles only C( and not C++).
