After years with the Microsoft IDE, in 1997 I had a contract project where I
"had to" use Borland's.  They didn't follow any of the standard keystroke
shortcuts and I found it incredibly frustrating and nearly impossible to be
productive.  In the end, I ported the project to Microsoft's environment, even
though that meant porting from OWL to MFC.

(This from someone who is NOT a Microsoft lover by any means!)
