   Microsoft Visual Studio vs C++ Builder Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Mar 12, 2020

   MS VS is not RAD, doesn't have visual components like Borland product, anyway cannot be compared to BCB or being called alternative. It is just something different and I'm not sure, but I'm convinced those alternatives should be free.

   Negative comment by Guest · Dec 21, 2020

   It does not have a native GUI designer like C++ Builder. Yes you can use .NET framework but that is not native.

   Negative comment by Guest · Jan 7, 2021

   Although I love VS, it is a set of IDE that comes with compilers, frameworks, etc. This is no RAD.

   It's a cross between Glade / Visual Studio — the idea is that most 'action' code for an application is actually quite simple - so entering the code on the event handlers for a widget makes the proximity of code to action better.
