Hello RaySynthesyzer,

This question seems to dont have any sense since U++ can be used with Microsoft Visual C++ compiler because U++ is a framework.

But, I think your question is more like "Should I choose 'U++ with MinGW compiler' OR 'standard C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio compiler' to learn C++ ? And Why ?"

Well, based on my 11 Months of experiencing U++ (using it atless 2 day a week) and having started with basic knowledge of C as well as a solid foundation of OOP(Object-oriented programming). I would say :

If you have bit knowledge about programmation, I would say U++, it will allow you to reach really good result on GUI/Console Application without much effort.
Moreover, when the framework is known, you will be able to build complex apps really quickly, and most of the time they would be Windows/Linux compatible !

If you have no idea about programmation and you planned to learn it on C++ then,
maybe you should go on standard C++ (no matter the compiler (MinGW/VC++))(no matter the IDE(U++ ide/Code::Block/Microsoft Visual Studio))
and start slowly by using standard C++ lib(Wiki here).
Why I recommand you to start with Standard Lib ? Because, I think that knowing the standard before using framework can only be benefit, Mostly if you are beginner.

there is also a point on performance, U++ is really more performance than the Standard on certain aspect : U++ Core vs standard C++ library But I'm not the right person to spoke about it.

But, the most important point is that Upp and theIde are f**king awesome! Very Happy

Very Happy

If one of Upp Member noticed that's I had said bullshit, made me notice !

Hope It could help.

Best regard.
