1) Too old. The compiler hasn't been updated since Moses' last birthday
2) A good IDE. Its simple GUI, multi-compiler support, and code-completion is enough to win over most beginners
3) Never used it
4) Its 'alrate. The interface is a little intimidating for beginners, and the fact that it can only support 1 compiler is a downer. IntelliSense is pretty good, but not perfect. Definitely not recommended for beginners
A botched review, but it's straight to the point I guess :)
