Comments about Microsoft Visual Studio as a Alternative to C++ Builder
This alternative is disputed. Microsoft Visual Studio is still a legitimate C++ Builder alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

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

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

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.

It's a lot better organized from my personal perspective. The fact that you can rely on something as robust as the .Net framework helps a lot in developing all kinds of applications. Embarcadero's (formerly Borland's) debugger might be getting better, but it's still not as good as the debugger of VS has been for years now.
