fact: an Emacs user is able to write, compile, run, test, write documentation, create a mailing list and get his software into Debian before a VS.NET user is finished with the Create New Project wizard.

Trolling aside, you can get "Pelle's C," If you're willing to take a couple hours to limit yourself from C++ to C, since the compiler doesn't do C++.
It has a resource editor much like Visual Studio's so you can make real programs. Most of the C++ code you think you know is really C anyway, so you'll miss the STL, the function overloading, and other stuff, in exchange for the ability to create medium-sized windows programs, if you already know Win32.
It has code folding too. When Dev-C++ starts including a resource editor, I'll switch back :)
