>>106756249they prefer gcc
>>106756249They want to program in Ada.
>>106756249I learned C/C++ programming on Linux with GCC and Makefiles so MSVC is alien technology to me.

>>106756324>MSVC produces highly optimised and smaller executables.I knowmust be a matter of familiarity
>>106756324>>106756422>msvc>fake force inlines>mfwim fairly certain that gcc has more features than msvcbut even if thats not the case, no force inlines is a dealbreaker for me
