Before djgpp there was Doom.  After djgpp there was Quake.  I think
that's all that needs to be said.  No but seriously they are probably
pretty evenly matched in many ways but one of djgpp's major advantages
is the portability it offers to other platforms.  GNU's gcc is the
UNIX standard c compiler and it's fast too.  Also the support is
amazing (on this newsgroup) and free.  Hell the whole thing is free.
Who could ask for more.  I know I couldn't.
