I remember this as total pain to use compared to CodeBlocks 10 years ago, but if Embarcadero improved it and kept it low memory it can be pretty usable in our schools which often have 10 years old PCs with 2GB of RAM etc...,

We have radically different memories then. Bloodshed dev-c++ was always the lightest and snappiest C++ IDE around.

I think the 10 years is the key here. 15+ years ago the DevC++ was a gem, lightweight, fast usable IDE. But 10 years ago there was the free VSExpress out (not even the first, 2005 and 2008) which was far superior to DevC++ imho. (edit: on Windows)

I remember thinking the reverse, 14-15 years ago.

Exactly. Dev was so light, CB seemed clunky and dated to me. I had Dev on my flash drive and all my projects (didn't know about VC 2007).
