I don't think so. Win32 is has a terrible API; the only way people get anything done is by using a visual editor like Visual C++ or adopting another API like Borland C++ Builder which uses VCL. We already have Kylix from Borland which is practically C++ Builder; it uses QT. It's not a far walk to Kylix/Win or C++ Builder/QT.

I disagree. All of us Cygwin and Cygwin/XFree86 developers use emacs or vim and we access the Win32 API directly. Heck, I only started seriously using Cygwin and the Win32 API nine months ago; three months ago I finished rewriting Cygwin/XFree86, so Win32 can't be that hard/bad :)
