I just checked. From cold start it takes 3 seconds for me to start typing in Visual Studio in my current project.

Dev C++ might be faster in this particular matter (been a very big while since I've used it so can't really verify) but I would not trade loosing 3 seconds a day for the whole shebang of features that are way more robust and plentiful in Visual Studio.



In 2020, yes. It's 3 seconds. But in the glory days of DevC++ (when it was managed by Bloodshed), it was a heck of a lot longer than 3 secs.

Not to mention, DevC++ was free. VS was not.

I'm not saying Dev C++ is better than VS. It was just a solid choice for it's loyal community of users.


Yes I remember there was a time when Dev C++ especially Orwell fork made much sense. I am talking about now though.
