Why's it not suitable for professional use? gcc/gdb are both suitable.
I've never used VS express, but I assume the compiler is command line,
so providing you don't use the IDE there should be nothing stopping the
end user. Unless the licence says other wise - in which case I'd try
and tell it to use another compiler.

Still, if one goes to those lengths then I guess it's just as easy to
kill the computer with eclipse :)
