I'm a long-time Unix hacker who wants to start doing C and C++ on the Mac.
Ultimately, I will probably invest in MPW.  However, recently I picked up
Sesame C from sumex and tried using it without much luck.  It appears that
I will have to invest some time, as well as the $35 shareware fee, into
getting the most out of Sesame C.

My question is: Is it worth it?  Is anyone out there using Sesame C
(with or without the Ctools package) for developing programs in the
500-1000 line size range?  Is the generated code reasonable, (I don't
expect much optimization) and reasonably free of bugs?  Is there a decent
source-level debugger?  Are there preprocessors and the like around?

And, if the answer to the above is affirmative, what do I need to do to
make Sesame C into a good development environment?
