I thought so. Depends what you mean by developing. Here's what I use:

For writing the code: Textpad. Not free, but there's plenty of free alternatives; hell, you could use Notepad. If you're willing to spend the money, though, this one's nice. (I'm starting to sound like I developed it. )
For compiling: MinGW.
For resources: PE Resource Explorer. Kinda crappy but I couldn't find anything else that worked properly.

VIM, Make, GCC

EDIT: Actually, autoconf is pretty nice.

Visual C++ 2005 is by far the best way to develop C++ in Windows these days, at least if you don't mind .NET. http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/default.aspx

Yea it probably is but if you read the topic you might notice the word FREE. Something VC++ is most definately not. In fact, as far as I know, it's the most expensive option possible.

The 2005 beta versions of all MS languages (C++, C#, J#, VB.NET, SQL Server) have been free for about one year and will remain free for at least another 6 months (when the final versions are released).

Eh? I didn't even notice the free part.

I think Microsoft just wants to keep the talent pool from moving to Mac OS X and open source operating systems, which is why they're offering free "Express" tools. If they had been doing this back when I started using computers and still used Windows, I probably would've done quite a bit of Windows programming.

Even Apple's XCode is completely free with no strings attached.

Possible, however I'm fairly certain that a beta version of a Microsoft product is not what people are looking for.

Getting back into gear....
Darth inVader, you never mentioned what OS you want to be working with. The "best" tool is different depending on the OS requirement.

Yeah, I'd just stay with the standard GNU stuff... that is if you have a free OS Coding C/C++ on MS Windows is absolute hell.
