OK, so it's Visual Studio 2010 which is not of interest to those coding on the Mac but it's worth a read anyway
MS VS Reviewed as a text-based adventure game

We do realize that Visual Studio 2010 isn't, of course, a game.
I actually really like using Visual Studio 2010... so much so that VS2010 Ultimate is one of the reasons I put Windows 7 on here in the first place... the other being World of Tanks haha.
I've been using VS2010 daily for the last two weeks doing Win32 development (*cries*).
Maybe I'm missing something, but:
1. Why can't it show warnings and errors alongside my code?
2. Why is the build output plain text and I have to manually parse it for failures?
Xcode beats the pants off of VS in terms of visual compiler output. For being such a mature product, VS is quite crappy. Two thumbs down for me.

I'm super serial.Seriously?
If a build fails in VS I would suggest you bring up the Error List which gives you an itemized list of errors, warnings and messages from the compiler. Double click an item in that list and you are taken to the section of code where the error or warning was generated.
I've been using Xcode since ~2001 when it was Project Builder. Been using VS off and on - 2005, 2008.I'm relatively new to the Apple eco-system and Xcode but I've been using VS for quite a number of years. Personally I don't believe Xcode comes close to matching the functionality of VS but again, I don't know enough about it. Maybe after spending more time with it I'll change my mind .
If I couldn't get it for free there is literally NO way I would ever use it. It should be worth $1000 tops.
