i've written some amount of C with VC++ and it's throroughly
unpleasant.  there are at least three problems:

    - windows' environment
    - the documentation is unreadable
    - there are some things you can't do in C that you have
      to do in C++.  toolbars spring to mind.  you can't write
      them in C, 'cos there's not enough documentation so
      you're committed smashing the two worlds together.

toolbars are yet another demonstration of a broken design.
if it was obvious what the icons did you wouldn't need
the text to pop up when you mouse over them.
