I used it for a week exclusively and now alternate between MultiScode and
Codeview.  I agree with what everybody said earlier about the weird
interface--keyboard access to menus is not standard, colors are
garish, and the debugger hangs a fair amount.  Also "little" things
like Ctrl-Alt-sysrq doesn't work about half the time (to break into
the program), it has trouble descending into const pointers to
structures, it's always crashed my machine when trying to do the
"graphic" data structure display, and it's much slower than codeview
at loading my program.

But it's really hard to go back to CV, after experiencing the benefits
of a Windows-hosted debugger.  It's really great to be able to go into
CodeWright (I just switched from epsilon last month and haven't looked
back) and browse around my source code in my editor while I'm
debugging my program.  If there was just a "windows-based codeview",
without all the Multiscope bells and whistles (and bugs and
weirdness), I would buy it.
