Well, MSVC supports those eye candy features yes. But it doesn't implement the C++ in the standard conforming way. Name lookup, overload resolution, and templates and practically everything is not implemented according to the spec.

Really, it's garbage and it shouldn't be considered as C++ compiler.

Is your experience really out of date? I would have agreed with you 10 years ago. Not so much any more. MSVC beats Apple's clangs by a long shot.
