don't fight with problem, but understand the its roots. nothing happens, because it just happens. there are many programming tools for unix that work very well for advanced users, but let's face it - are quite hard to get started with. MS has all tools fine and nice for starting users(visual clickclickclick etc), kilometers of text for newbies, which are useless for advanced users(have tried to find something from MSDN? yeah, i know that feeling of wanting to hit somebody who created
that overbloated mess). what we can do to help to promote unix is not to make tens VC++/VB for unix like thingies, but make somehow all existing tools somehow more "eatable" for newcomers.
just my 2 cents.
