Doesn't MingGW32 avoid the use of side by side assemblies?

It does, but it's a significantly slower compiler, so it's not much fun for development (I'd say about 5 x slower).

I'm sure VC++6 will fade into obscurity - I'm just pointing out a concrete reason why it is still around, even though it is so old.
