Forum :: EOSERV :: codeblocks? ms visual studio?

Hey how come eoserv guides use codeblocks and not visual studio? Sausage do you think codeblocks is better with C++ programming? :) Thanks. However codeblocks won't let you visually make GUI components like visual studio right?

Microdick doesn't keep up with C++. Code blocks is a much smaller install and can pretty much do the same work. There are some nice bells and whistles using visual studio, but outside of making some sort of form gui there is not much reason to want to use it. 

As far as i know visual studio is an environment + compiler and it won't let use other compilers like gcc which is eoserv based on, instead of their compiler .

While code blocks let you use any compiler .

Most people here are not fans of Microsoft by succession or due to their own reasons .

A reason maybe : 

Plus you got download the whole visual studio which is atleast 5 g.b.

I'm installing VS right now it's taking forever and installing .NET framework even though I didnt install the C# part of visual studio. I guess they assume I'll use .NET even though I won't.

And yeah it's taking forever to install.

Ah yes I was worried about microsoft searching through my files and such, and limitations with how much you can do such as you explain here by their injecting of stuff. I guess I'll use visual studio for my first couple projects then go into codeblocks when I understand what libraries I'm using and such.
