[opensource-dev] Tools of the trade.

[Brandon Husbands]

I understand that Licensing costs money but I do have a question. It is
almost 2011 That's 6 years after Visual Studio was released.
I also know there are patches floating around for cmake and various other
things that make VS2k8 compile properly. So I ask this, when is LL going to
drop vs2k5 as the "Supported" MS compiler? With c++0x Standard actually
being implimented with some methods in vs2k8 and mostly in 2k10. Is it not
time to really update our default toolset?

At least lets get the patches in to fix 2k8, and get it officially
supported. I despise 2k5, 28k is pretty solid now. 2k10 seems to be the
vista of IDE's maybe 2k11 will be the win 7 =) Mostly due to the project
based settings instead of global IDE includes which is a PITA even with
Cmake.

Id like to get LL's response on how long are we going to be stuck with 2k5
as the "official" compiler/ide.
