Hmm.. I hold this view and I've done quite a bit of serious development and
delivered real product (not to mention being an MCP).  Their compiler _is_
inferior.  However, their IDE, customer support and documentation goes from

Mainly because of inertia, good documentation and availablility.  Where is
Borland (et al)'s equivalent to MSDN?
