I really like VS.Net, but VS6 is very good too.
You might want to take a look at an addin that may help you even further,
Visual Assist. Especially the previous versions since they are avaliable for
free from the developers site.

There's a good free IDE with intellisense called DevC++ from Bloodshed which
is really good too. It uses the mingw compiler.
I think it's interesting to use more than one compiler for a project. I
definitely wouldn't stop using visual studio 6 for good. :)

Greetings - Just a quick question that I suspect is a bit off topic, but
nonetheless I feel that this is where I'll get the most unbiased answer.
I am currently using Visual C++ 6.0 (Studio Professional) to learn on, and
I've heard that in addition to being out of date, it's just plain bad in a
lot of areas. I've thought about upgrading to .NET, and I've also thought
about Borland. I'm just curious what others here use for an IDE and what
recommendations anyone may have.
Thanks in advance,
Some Clown
