To be honest, I don't think that's a good analogy. A better analogy would be a library that has a big supply of books but you can only take them out in a digitized form, such as on a DVD. But the library hasn't digitized many books - so users must be prepared to do that themselves. However, I'm not criticising you Tor. I take your point that if the VC++ audience isn't a priority, then I understand how this might not be worth the effort. My personal experience though (as someone who's used vc++, gcc, gtk and mfc) is that the most powerful combination for the Windows platform is offered by vc++, glib and gtk (well, more specifically, gtkmm). I wish that other VC++/MFC programmers could experience this for themselves because I'm pretty sure they'd agree.
