Go to Post I volunteered to be the person responsible for the electronics and raised my hand before realizing that I have had almost no electronics experience. I hope our robot turns out alright... - Blue_Mist [more]

This is true... Especially since we are forced to do AI programming this year... Ugh! Forget even trying to keep the code neat... And running out of vars might be an issue.

As to the quality of VS, I was taught on Borland C++ and after a new teacher got me to try Visual Studio I've never looked back.
This is true, I was also self-taught on Borland C++ Builder... BUT as I look at the software, I am ending up writing our debug and dash applications in Borland. Simple reason? The IDE. When I have one or two nights to write a program to calibrate sensors, I can whip out a GUI in five minutes with Borland. In Visual C++, even with all the enhancements that .NET gives, there IS NO FORM DESIGNER!!!!!! I would take Borland's odd VCL syntax any day over hand-coding a GUI or writing a console application...

So... Petition MS to give the C++ Developers of the world what Borland has done for years: A graphical form designer. Do they really need to keep such high-tech features locked within their proprietary Visual Basic and *shudder* C# languages?

What is the world coming to...
