VisualStudio and MinGW share the same compatibility problems: IPC, fd
<=> socket stuff, etc.

But VisualStudio has two main pros:

- It's a well known (the best known I think) development environment
for Windows (here I'm thinking to Windows only developers)
- The Runtime libraries used are recent, while MinGW uses the old
msvcrt.dll, born in 1998 ....

The major cons are the lack of autoconf/automake support and the
"project files bandwagon" .....

Regards

Guido
