So, you don't have to use Managed C++ with MSVC 7.0.

7.0 - somewhat better ANSI C++ support than 6 and 5 (though the template support still needs a lot of work) and better IDE, though it's much more of a memory hog than 6 and 5.

My 7.0 has built-in help too (Adron)
though I couldn't fix it to use latest SDK =(

7.0 - It's optimizer is by far the best of any of the other compilers, and it has up-to-date built in help!

There appears to be a tie for version 6.0 and 7.0!

I voted for 7.0.

I use MSVC7.

It has a better interface, much better real-time help features, access to the online MSDN library, and has a much nicer looking IDE than 6 did. I never used 5, though, so I can't comment on it.

I don't see any reason to upgrade right now.

Just to make it a tie again.

And because it's the only one I've ever used :)
