[Bf-committers] Which IDE is best for develop Blender on Windows

[Xavier Thomas]

I heard that the free version of Visual Studio (express) are working
OK (the 2008 at least, 2010 I am not sure)
Also the Scope navigation/refactoring tools have made their apparition
in QTcreator quit some time ago. I use it since then as it is
definitely the lightest/quickest. However I don't know if it will be
able to compile correctly on windows.
