Visual Studio makes the job for non-professional programmers a pretty
good job. I am in the final year of my Mechnical Engeneering degree and
many of my coleagues does not have programing experience, so they
program *only* in Visual Basic.
So does a lot's of engineerings that are in front of teams to develop
software, like my boss.
So ... when yu want something, just let's hope microsoft has it
developed ... when in linux, you just can have the simpliest platform nd
the more complex one too.

No ... gui tools helps people with some non coding work. Having, for
example, an F11 key to compile, or someone to edit most of my makefiles
is pretty good.
Still ... i agree ... i hate Visual Studio because you only have the
gui.
I develop in anjuta and use gdb for debug, along with other memory
debuggers.
