Charles Petzold talk - DoesVisualStudioRotTheMind?

There was an interesting talk by Charles Petzold, who wrote the bible
on the Wind32 API, on Visual Studio, and IDEs in general, and their
disadvantages as far as learning (he also teaches programming), so I
would recommend anyone trying to learn C++, and considering downloading
this free IDE and compiler to read the post. Some very good points.
