Reply:gcc - supports the most architechtures, has the most libraries, very advanced, most popular in open source community.





visual c compiler - fast code, not as flexible as gcc.


most popular in closed source community.





digital mars - very fast code very little support.





bcc - deprected, was good.





gcc is #1.





only use Microsofts vc++ compiler if you have reason to do so.





also note that things like devc++ and codeblocks use GCC as there compilers and are correctly described as IDE's.
Reply:I really like Dev-C++.
