I think installing VC++ is a lot more of a PITA =). You have to physically get up and find the CD, then laboriously insert it into the CDROM drive.
All I have to do is "apt-get install gcc" (or "apt-get upgrade" and it'll be automagically upgraded...). Or more likely on my servers, "cd /usr/ports/lang/gccXX;make install". And I'm done!
Always install new compilers in a different location than the current one, so you have a strategy in case the new one doesn't work =).
