I've never used most of the features of VS (actually I use VC++ 
Express), so I don't miss anything. I find bjam so much easier to use 
(but it did take a while to understand some of its quirks).

But I confess I don't know how to use the debugger in VC++ Express 
without setting up a VC++ project and compiling it in VC++. Can someone 
explain how I can compile in bjam and debug in VC++ without actually 
compiling the project in VC++?
