Not as much as MFC imposes with either compiler, OWL makes things much
eaiser then _any_ of the crap that you have to deal with MFC, but OWL
itself is not the tool to be using. The issue is not at all the compiler,
but the framework that you use, and from a programmers standpoint MFC is
the worst, OWL is better, and the VCL style that you get with C++Builder or
Delphi really blows them both away. The VCL was created from what the
developers learned what was wrong with both MFC and OWL frameworks. VCL can
pretty much do what ever you need it too, and without all that SDK or
(Object wrapped SDK in MFC's Case) BS.
