You are both right and man, the_clown, I feel your pain.
Visual Studio is an awesome IDE and lightyears ahead of Xcode which is lightyears ahead of code::blocks. MSVC is a piece of garbage and I've written way too many ifdefs and dirty hacks to work around compiler and STL bugs.

And I'm not even happy with GCC either (regexes, anyone?). 4.9 is getting somewhere with C++11 support, but Clang beats it completely. If I could, I would force LLVM/Clang down your throats and switch to C++1y.
Oh well, you work with the tools you got, not the ones you wish you had.

Edit: If anyone wants to know the current state of things in terms of implementation completeness of C++11 compiler features: http://www.italiancpp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/CppISO-Feb2014-r1.pdf
