I switched from MSC 5.1 to Turbo C (now using Borland C++) two years
ago and haven't looked back. I switched due to the ease of setup and
use of the programmer's environment. I find Borland's Integrated
Development Environment much more intuitive than the MS Programmer's
Workbench. All the options are available through pull-down menus.

More recently, Borland came out with exquisite handling of EMS/XMS
for its development environment in BC++. The BCX environment will 
run in extended memory and give you the benefit of all available
memory for compiling operations. In addition, through their object
library, you can access EMS/XMS through your programs.

No financial ties with Borland, just a happy user.
