Another perspective on the same thing...

The chief advantage of BC++ 2.0 over MSC X.X is that it is a C++ compiler 
capable of generating Windows programs.  The chief advantage of BC++ over 
Zortech is its speed and overall package quality (more bang for the buck 
due to WRT and TDW, etc.).

I believe that if you aren't at least starting to use C++ to reduce the
complexity of your Windows application programming then you are missing out
on most of the power of this system.
