RE: [cdt-dev] Thought on "New C/C++ Project"
|
I haven't really heard users ask to change things. The thought is driven by
technology reasons only. Users rule and since we have good representation
here on this list, I'd say keeping things as they are would be prudent.
I guess the point would be to make sure the C# toolchain doesn't show up in
the New C++ Project Wizard.
Thanks!
