VC++ vs Dev-C++

[gatmalice]

I've found it to be very difficult to find basic tutorials for Microsoft's Visual C++. Would anyone recommend that over Dev-C++, which is what I currently use? To be honest, the biggest reason I want to use VC++ is because I like the syntax highlighting a bit better (highlighting #include differently than <iostream> etc).

I've also found that I seem to have a lot more errors with compiling on VC++..

Is there any other reason I use learn VC++ instad of Dev C++?

Dev-C++ is old and bad. You should change it.

VC++ and Dev-C++ are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment). They are both for the same C++ language. They do use different compilers, but that is irrelevant, since there's a C++ standard. VC++ is superior to Dev-C++.
