Oh boy, don't get me started on that one.
I have to take C and C++ classes here on the university, and it is a constant pain in the aß, as to which compiler to use. For many years, the uni used Microsoft's Visual Studio for C programming, but the license expired, and they didn't renew it. They started using Eclipse because it's free, but the course's codes, books and learning material were optimized for Visual Studio, and a great many things, what worked in VS, didn't work in Eclipse and vice versa. Just think about it, you make a project for class in C or C++, you run it and works fine, you bring it in for class and it won't work there. Who's to blame for that? Ususally us, students.:notrust:
