Why could be interesting to use MSVC and QT ?

[tonnot]

Can anyone tell me the reason for use MSVC (I have the express 2008) and QT libraries ? Which are the advantages (if any) ?
Thanks

Advantages compared to what?

[tonnot]

Against QT+Mingw32 .
Any reason will be, as there are people who use it

If people are familiar with MSVC or with Visual Studio they prefer to use this environment instead of a compiler or IDE they don't know. Also some people say that MSVC generates better code for Windows than MinGW but it's probably an unverified myth.

Thank you Wy.

Another advantage to using Visual Studio is to learn it (if you haven't already).

Also some people prefer it because C++ is not their only language.

Hah! I suppose I had that coming, but no way!

[wysota]

It seems to have an advantage over Word, Visual Studio and a bunch of other tools

[Timoteo]

Not in Windows Which was my whole (implied) point about learning it. You simply cannot ignore an industry standard for a platform as huge as Windows for very long.

"standard" and "forced by monopoly" are not the same thing.
