I was wondering if this is a good substitute for Visual Basic ?
It's free and has a nice interface. Is the mingw32 a good compilier?

It's surely not a substitute vor Visual Basic since it is designed for C++/C-Apps.
From what I've heard the compiler is really nice.

The upcoming version would be a visual type interface, I think. They're working on it.

I tried it and for all it's worth (FREE), its very nice!

I tried it, but it just didn't compare with Visual C++

Well, like I said, it doesn't have the quick development structure of VC++. Unfortunately, you do have to spend a small fortune for VC (I spent about $500 for VB 6.0 Professional).

But, if you're a whiz kid, and do want to avoid MFC programming (VC++ relies on this heavily) and go into the nitty gritty details of API programming, you can go a long way with this. Some of the smallest C++ programs I've seen forego MFC.
