I'm an electrical designer. If my products don't work, people fucking die. Your point?
Because I thought that it would be obvious to somebody who actually programs why Microsoft C++ Compiler is better than open-source GCC and CLANG. Yes, Microsoft C++ Compiler compiles more slowly. And the programs it produces run slower. But, Jesus Christ, it's slower because it is doing something useful. And you will much sooner develop a working program if you are using Microsoft C++ Compiler than if you are using GCC or CLANG.
