After the OS poll a few months ago I thought you had in mind to do  
some other polls, though it's easy for something like that to fall  
through the cracks...

I would expect VS6 is very rare since we seldom see any fixes related  
to it anymore (warnings and such) on the mailing list. As I said, the  
VC++Express is just so much easier, and has other advantages not just  
for compiling and using OSG. It's a more capable IDE, supports  
parallel compiles on multi-core or hyperthreaded systems, optimizes  
code better for modern architectures and for recent OS versions (XP,  
2003), and so on.

I wouldn't know for IRIX, but I remember when I used to develop on it  
about 6 years ago that I switched to gcc pretty fast, because it had  
some stdc++ problems. Even though gcc took ages to compile anything, I  
preferred that to writing non-standard and platform-specific C++. I  
expect it's gotten better, but how much I wouldn't know.
