I present the greatest IDE ever created (at least GUI based one). I also have the MSDN library that came with a tonne of awesome stuff.

@opiate 100%. Visual Studio + Windows 2000 was the ultimate development environment

@mroach Agreed. Also, for UI at least (maybe not for development) I have to say BeOS 5 was also another almost perfect system.

@opiate Interesting. I’m really old - so my vote would be for Borland’s Turbo Pascal 6 on DOS. But I can see the appeal of Visual Studio 6 too…

@ImpossibleUmbrella Haha, that's why I hinted at VS6 being the best GUI editor; TUI-wise, it's hard to beat turbo pascal or borland c++ and others.
