Did you ever try it? No?

I did when it came out, and it isn't usable for anything serious (unless one is willing to collect some odd bits here and there, and pirate some of the missing libraries, or never want to use 50% of the stuff, or never want to debug, etc).
You can't really blame them either, after all they want to stay in business. If the freely downloadable version was fully usable for serious development, nobody would pay the 500 dollars (or was it 600? I forgot...) for the full version, anyway :)

I don't see anything missing from the debugger. The pirated missing libraries referred to must be MFC, which is indeed left out (just as well, it is outdated). The Express edition comes with everything you need for [single platform] wxWidgets or Qt development for instance [only thing missing is a proper form designer]. You know how to argue. Do you know when to stop too?

killerbot:
everybody calm down. No need to argue.

I am afraid our student, the original poster,  is getting in serious distress when he reads this discussion :-)

On the other hand, even when having these discussions, will still manage to create a super CB :-) 8)

troels:
Compilation speed isn't everything. Code::Blocks is truly wonderful software period.
Greetings

ouch:
actually both mingw and MSVC++ 6.0 was first released in 1998. GCC however has been around since 1987. (hurrah for wikipedia ;) )

also thomas, you keep refering mingw to gcc which leads me to believe your on linux useing an integrated gcc compiler which is always a lot faster than mingw.

whether or not the difference is the OS or the port I couldn't tell you though...
