I love BlitzMax and don’t plan on defecting any time soon. The only thing I sorely miss is a BRL-supported 3D module.
Regarding Visual Studio, there’s one significant problem, IMO: the requirement for a 22MB .Net redistributable to be installed on your target users’ systems. Considering many people are still on 56k dialup, this adds an additional hour to their download time.
