I am with you about GNU. Cheap, but my time is worth a lot. IAR and Keil are Chevy vs Ford. _____ From: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com [mailto:lpc2000@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg Deuerling Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 11:48 AM To: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [lpc2000] Looking to buy compiler > For a professional developer which would be the compiler of choice: > > IAR > Keil > Or another? I use Keil and like it a lot. What few problems with the compiler I've found had been fixed with in several days. The support is great. There are going to be a lot of people suggesting GNU and while I sure it a powerful development tool I can't stand to use it. I'm a hardware engineer that programs and I don't want to have to be a frigg'n GNU expert just to use a compiler. I compare buying a compiler to buying a car; buy Keil/Iar/... and you get a fully assembled car, use GNU and you get a box full of unlabeled parts, crappy documentation, no support, and you put your own car together out of these parts... If you want a great tool that is well supported grab Keil or one of the other commercial compiler packages.
