But just because you pay for it doesn't make it good. It's true that
you don't have to reboot every 5 or 6 builds with Metrowerks, but it's
still unacceptably buggy on Windows IMHO (crashes every 2-3 hours that
force me to reboot my machine; at one patchlevel you had to restart the
IDE between debugging sessions; from time to time would refuse to talk
to the emulator) (And don't get me started on Constructor. Give me
GCC/PilRC any day.). In my (admittedly limited) experience with
Microsoft's development tools has been rather positive; the term
'that piece of garbage' would seem more applicable to CW IMHO.
