is post-2005 VC++ any better?

honestly, i only tried once to create a deployment-appropriate binary
with MS tools.  i don't remember which version it was; but it was
total hell.  (gimme mingw any day... well, any day i have to deal with
windows).

i did find hard to believe how many hoops you have to jump, since MS
is usually very focused on keeping simple things simple.  i think
there must be some motive i don't see.

but my question was:  has that improved?  or maybe 2005 was even worse
than what i saw?
