Yunis,

I hve used the MS tool. They basically ripped the IDE off of Borland.
Anyways, I used it just to verify that my code would compile in it,
after developing it in Fedora/Kdevelop/g++ , and basically, if it
compiles in Visual Studio, it will compile in g++. Not sure if that is
good enough for you.
