Which makes me wonder ... why Visual Studio? If they're using the GNU toolchain, then they're just using VS for the IDE and eschewing all of the compiler-y and debugger-y bits. Don't get me wrong, VS is a top notch IDE, but so is Eclipse and it's much more affordable.

Did you really just compare Eclipse to Visual Studio?

The only thing you are right about is the price, but that's about it.
