For one...LCC is not a gcc derivative.  Two...LCC is commercial where
as gcc has always been free.  You might be forgetting that any
GNU product comes with the Warning about your mileage varying.  If
you want something windows based...use CygWin...DJ would agree :).
CygWin comes with everything except an editor.  If you like, you
could use emacs or vi with CygWin becuase the ports are there.  And
in fact I have to disagree about easy of use...how hard is it to
do this
c:
cd\
md djgpp
cd djgpp
pkunzip -d c:\djinst\*.zip
or
unzip c:\djinst\*.zip
then type rhide if you have it unzipped.  If you wanna go
click-click-click and have your OS go beep-beep-beep then use Win$uck.
I prefer using DOS or even Linux (even though my knowledge outside
of web publishing is limited) because I have control of the OS...not
the other way around.
