Hi all,

I've been having a look at various software and was wondering what the gurus out there thought was the best program to use for creating apps with cool gui's. In particular, the free/open source software. I want to stick with c++ because it's an efficient code but I'm not too familiar with using software with IDE.

I'm familiar with using Visual C++.NET and a bit of Borland c++ Builder. I quite like c++ Builder, but I wanted to start using some free stuff - I don't like the idea of buying software...

I was interested in Dev c++ with the IDE. Is this good software for creating gui's? What else would be recommended? I noticed the c++ Builder v5.5 compiler is free, but does the package that goes with this include the whole lot to write windows apps?

thanks,
