I don't want to be rude, but if the best developing tool is only available as a nightly build or an RC2 version from the stoneage, isn't there something wrong? The best developing tool should be easy to install imho. Or we can turn it around: If we win this election, will there be an official RC3 which is easy to install for new users? :P.
Furthermore, I don't understand why I should vote for a tool, if I don't know all the tools and thus can't make a fair comparison. So actually, you just count the number of active users. Although this probably is a flaw in every election for something.

I don't think that an official rc3 will be more easy to install than a nightly (anyway, a person who develops c/c++ should know how to install software (=copy some files) on his os, doesn't he :wink:).

An official RC3 can just be an exe file. Click three times next and you're done. For installing a nightly you have to invest time to read things. Download all kind of seperate files (ming32w, gdb, dll files, project file) and install each of them. We know it is worth the time, but a new user can be scared away like this. Besides, no one likes to waste time on things that can be automated :).
