Unfortunately "nice development tools" has absolutely nothing to do
with "super critical" and "gonna get pounded really hard."
And with regards to the development tools, I actually find the
Microsoft tools not to my liking because they tend to keep the developer from
knowing what's really going on "under the hood" -- my preference is a
straight text editor to edit the source, compile/make, then see the results
(and only get into debugging as needed), thus fancy development tools are
mostly a waste of time for me (I'm happy with my text editor called "MEd").
