Everyone I know that does Wintel-development uses MSVC. MSVC is a VERY
good C++ compiler (fast, optimizing really good, etc), and has a
still-to-be-beaten IDE (the debugger just RULES! StormC comes close
there, but with Edit-And-Continue, it moves to a different level). It
reduces the development-time quite a bit, and with a few aids (Visual
Assist, BoundChecker, etc) you can even cut it some more.
IMHO StormC V3 is not even close... I can't express myself on V4, as I've
only tried it once, and very briefly (as it consumed 11MB of memory and
took a bit over a minute to load, I decided that it wasn't worth it), so
it might produce good code. Although, it uses the GCC 2.x-engine which is
pretty pathetic when doing certain optimizations... Only compiler that
has beaten me when hand-optimizing assembler(x86) is in fact MSVC.
