Oh, I didn't mention? I'm collecting 'for' them..

My Vote is for PellesC. You can also write programs for PocketPC ARM processors!

I have tried heaps of C/C++ stuff in the past (DJGPP, DEVC, Watcom, Digital Mars, Borland, LCCwin32, Pelles, Visual, etc, etc) some of which are versions or front-ends for others, like GNU.
The two that were "easiest" to use were Pelles and Watcom. (Relatively - I didn't find any of them "easy").
A big problem was portability of code between the different implementations! Although most of the C stuff is standard-ish, the approaches to projects/resources etc hindered the porting. Just within windows.
Mind you, all this was a brief flirting with C before deciding to use assembler (masm and easier than most languages), PureBasic, and perhaps FreePascal.
The best IDEs seemed To be devC (GNU C, GNU pascal, FreePascal, etc), and the specific (i think) Pelles And Watcom.
