Idiots ask questions like this. Amorized over a year's time or so, the
cost of a pre-10 CW update was < $1/day, which is insignificant to a
professional wanting to use the most productive tool he can. I'm not
advocating that people buy CW this late in the game, but the cost over
the years has been well worth it to me to have something that is easier
to use, compliles much faster, and has a superior STL for C++. A free
tool I don't enjoy using is no bargain. The only real issue with paying
for CW10 is that it appears to be completely unsupported.

I have no idea why you would post this, but it's only a bad reflection
on you, not MW or CW. CW was the standard for Mac development for many
years. Even Apple used until they came up with PB/Xcode. I still
haven't heard anyone claiming that GCC generates better code. There are
good reasons CW has met its demise, but the quality of the code it
generated was not one of them.
