Code::Blocks vs. Visual Studio

I posted a similar topic were I was able to get some colorful adjectives for what people thought of Code::Blocks.  However, I am just starting to use Code::Blocks, but have been using a couple different version of VC (6 and 2005express).  So, I have been considering whether or not I should drop the $250 odd dollars for the standard or.....see howthe community of Code::Blocks stacks it against VC 2005 before dropping that money?

Thanks in advance

Umm you want an IDE camparision? I don't think you can get VS for $250???  :shock:

Why use a non-cross platform, bloated, slow IDE when you can use Code::Blocks (which is none of those)????

Thanks for the repy:  I am pretty sure you can pick up the (non-academic, *full version*) standard edition for ~$250 give or take a few dollars - maybe your thinking of the professional edition which starts getting closer to $600.

Ah ok yes I was. ;)

Anyways what does VS do better?
I can think of one off the top of my head. Mainly Intellisense (code-completion).
Why would you want to use VS over Code::Blocks?

pghtech:
Only because I am familar with it, and was planning on doing so until I started looking into Code::Blocks.
