I want to know if there is any benefit in using MSVC over GCC on Windows? Like more compatibility or integration or something? There is also an intel compiler, what about that?

 

Microsoft owns my soul.

 

Also, Dell is evil, but HP kinda nice.

I've been programing with C++ for nearly 30 years and even when i was programing it with Visual Studio 97 can't remember i never actually needed to ask myself that question. I later switched to Visual Studio 2002 when it came out and still to this date i never had a single instance i had to worry about the compiler i am using. Code... click run and it run

Not sure but I would assume mvsc has more support for windows tool chains and library out of the box.
