That's the right answer: fully integrates in Visual Studio, produces quality code and has the features the article author misses:

Or g++ / Clang under Cygwin. They are ubiquitous compilers because they work pretty much everywhere, in some way, somehow.

intelcc is great, with error messages significantly more clear than gcc or msvc (not as good as clang), and solid performance. But it is more expensive than msvc and I don't believe there is a free version like visual studio express.

Or C++ Builder for that matter.
