dev-c++

Hello,

I've been using MS Visual Studio for a lot of projects, but I notice a lot of people here like to complain about Microsoft and Visual Studio.

So I'm wondering, what does everyone use? Dev-C++? mingw?

What is popular? Also, what is bad about MSVS? What is "better" about the others?

Thanks!
