I found the JBuilder quite useable, after I removed the
com.borland.*.XYLayoutManager (replace with null, no real difference can be
felt...).

I have to use Visual Studio / MFC for a project right now -- that's not *my*
definition of intuitive. Try to add behaviour to your controls and you go
nuts -- the wizard has forgotten that my Dialog template is attached to a
class and I have to attach my CWidget-variables to the Controls manually ...
Definitely a both-thumbs-way-down for the Evil Empire and a single thumb
kind-of-upwardish for the JBuilder.
