Kevin, In terms of accessibility, I've found VS 2008 to be the best since it was the last version to use standard Win32 controls. The newer versions are usable for the most part, but certain elements like the form designer are cumbersome.
Depending on your end goal, you might also consider invoking the compiler system through the command line. The native compilers and MSBUILD systems are all available in the console, though admittedly it can be tricky to get them to work as seemlessly as you would find in the VS IDE. If you're looking for alternative compilers, GCC works from the console, and IDEs like Code Blocks work reasonably well. We have not tested other compilers to see if they work with COM, so you're likely on your own if this is what you're after.
