I tried C++ Views but it presents a formidible challange to getting started.
They really don't lay out enough examples of designing apps with it, either in
the manual or on disk.  For the moment I've put off trying to develop with it.

Thus far, everything I've done (of any significance) has been done with
Zortech C++ and the SDK.  Is it better?  Well, that depends upon your
definition of better.  If your definition of better includes...

	1) Faster compilation.
	2) Better optimization.
	3) Bug fixes on a frequent (rather than annual) schedule.
	4) The advantages of C++ over C.
	5) Cheaper price.

...then yes, it is better than MSC 6.0 and the SDK. :-)
