As long as the program he wants is text based, you can do the hard work 
under linux, and check at the end for the silly parsing oopses of Visual C++

The worst thing I know of Visual C++ is,

for (int i = 0; .... )
  ...
...
...
for (int i = 0; .... )

won't work as the thing parses as if it's still 1990 (something like 
that) - this syntax wasn't legal once

If he wants a graphical thing, it'll be very hard to escape doing 
*everything* under Visual C++

HTH,
