- Visual C++ is never as good as Borland C++, but after years of bouncing
- between the two, I have found one difference that clearly identifies Visual
- C++ as a better tool then Borland C++. MFC code rarely changes much between
- version, OWL changes so frequently that as I speak thousand of errors are
- being generated by people who are trying to port code from OWL 1.x to OWL 2.0
- to OWL 2.5, etc. In the end, it comes down to one thing. Microsoft is better
- at marketing their products and has better management. Borland is confused,
- they are the Apple of the development industry. If Borland could only write a
- OWL library that would remain somewhat constant. Instead, every new release
- involves so many new features and copied features from Microsoft et al that
- their librairy completely changes over-and-over. MFC changes too, just not as
- drastically.
