Hi MS,
well there are 3 things that make up vc++ from my perspective:
a)c++ language
b)gui toolkit
c)debugging/ide tool
point a is covered by the gcc collection (c,c++,fortran,...)
point b is covered by any toolkit (gdk,tk,qt,...)
point c can be covered by eclipse,gdb, and many others.

Absolutely. Nothing beats plain gcc and Qt with gdb. I bought visual c++ in 1994. Was it a mess. It brought on the move to Linux.
