Performance is one reason, yes -- especially in these multicore times;
nmake cannot handle parallell builds -- but the most (or only)
compelling reason to use Visual Studio as opposed to Emacs + command
line builds is that the Visual Studio debugger is superior to all other
debuggers available on Windows.
