So im currently enrolled in "Engineering Problem Solving with C++," and the professor "requires" us to use crap MS VS.
So I send him an email:

Here is his reply:
Hi Stephen,
I want you to be in synch with everyone in the course, including the
TAs, your project partner, and me. So you will need to use Visual
Studio. We are just going to scratch the surface of using Visual
Studio, so it should not be difficult for you.
Thanks. ... Dr. B.
Now if you can read 2 thing wrong; he cant use spell check, and that his answer gets me no where.
So I reply back:
I'm sorry however, that doesn't really answer my question. Let me rephrase,
> are we going to be using any thing specific to visual studio. Personally I
> could just use a text editor and a compiler, however this is obviously not
> the best approach for everyone. Thank you.
Now thinking that I have made things clear, he replies with:
Hi Stephen,
When we get into writing modular programs, the TAs may want you to
turn in your entire Visual Studio project zipped up. This will
probably be easier for them to grade.

Now obviously im getting no where. So at this point im just going to ignore him and use the awesome-ness that is C::B
So thank you C::B team for bringing us This totally rad IDE that is Code::Blocks!
