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.
