I, too, use Emacs. However, do not be oblivious to the fact that an

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.

I use gmake with the "Unix Makefile" generator and cl as the compiler. gmake does have parallel builds.
I use the patched cygwin gmake from here:
