... I've never regretted ensuring that Scintilla/SciTE build on Windows with each of MSVC, Borland and GCC. It wasn't much work and real problems have been found by the extra checks done by Borland.

Indeed, the more compilers the better. I've long wished that Guido would leave CNRI, and find some situation in which he could hire people to work on Python full-time. If that ever happens, and he hires me, I'd like to do serious work to free the Windows build config from such total dependence on MSVC.
