I can't figure out where to set the compiler flags.

The help files really drives you insane, there is a ton of information but never
what you look for and everything is a mess. You get hits on visual basic and all
sorts of junk when you search for something in a C++ program!
I also don't like to go in circles when searching for something; They send you
from one link to the next without mentioning _where_ to set the optimize code
flags, and after 30 minutes of intense reading you end up where you started!

All I could find was a remark to go and edit some text files!

In general I don't like it when they change a complex GUI too much, then you
have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to do all the things you used to
know exactly how to do. I know most of the shortcuts in MSVC6, it's all second
nature now, I have slowly come to like it over the years and I'm not going to
start all over with a new edition.
