VC Express is Visual Studio, though what you say makes sense. I've used it and
Eclipse (on Windows), which uses gcc/g++ via cygwin. (It can be configured to

Eclipse gives you some portability.
I've been doing Java development for 10 years and recently returned to C++. I

Windows development. They probably are good at that, but I'm not qualified to
comment. But getting a console project setup is not intuitive. I find that
most things work fine, but then I run into a usability issue.
I usually create an empty console application and that works fine. Of
