Has anyone thought about using Visual C++ Express?

I found out that there is a free C++ Visual tool that people can use to make programs. This tool is from Microsoft. So I downloaded it from their website and it looks to me like it's really good.

I am sure quite a few have thought about it. Some might even use it — we provide project files for MSVC.

However, most of the developers use Linux, as opposed to WIndows or OS X, where MSVC is not relevant. Furthermore, while the C++ compiler is standards compliant (as much so as g++), the C compiler is quite dated.
