Summary: speaking of religion and computers...

I have heard that (for 32 bit '386 compilers) Watcom is a bit better than
Metaware's. We picked Metaware's mainly because Autodesk recommended them. I
have since felt that we made a bad choice - NOT because the product was 
no good, but because Metaware has started shipping religious literature
with their C compiler. While I may or may not have qualms with their
religion, I find this to be incredibly unprofessional, leading me to question
the company as a whole...
