FWIW, I use MSVC a lot, has copilot. Never tried it. I don't want that 
sucker to insert code into my flow, or alter anything. Actually, I don't 
know what it does. Sigh. Anyway, MSVC is not all that bad. Working on a 
Unity project and, it uses C#, but MSVC is there as my editor. Then, 
funny, it (unity) deploys into an intermediate form, C++. then I compile 
it, and deploy it to my xbox in dev mode. Works good, but its funny that 
it uses C++ as a medium. It think its C++, not "managed" C++ fro the 
winfolk... ;^)
