Visual C++ vs Standard C++

[Sombat]

Hi,

I have the option in a new position of working with standard C++ (which I have done before) or visual C++ (which I have not). Can anyone who has worked with both tell me which they prefer and why?

Thanks,

I've worked with both.

I find Visual C++ has a very very good debugger but I was doing Windows programming with it. Windows programming can be very challenging at times though.

If you're possibly going to do some Windows programming with Visual C++, expect a bumpy ride.

Hope this helps,
