I prefer the Quick C interface to the Turbo C 2.0 interface.  It supports
the mouse, editing is much easier, help is much easier and much more useful,
and you can compile, link, etc. easily. The integration of assembler into
2.5 seems much nicer than Turbo Assembler, which is strictly a command line
assembler.

As for performance, I've seen QC/TC comparisons and the results are mixed.
QC produces faster code for some things, TC for others.
