Visual C++ is as hard or as easy as any other IDE (Interactive Development Environment). It depends on how much time you put into it. Each IDE has its own nature, and we have a tendency to resist learning a new paradigm. If you were a master of one IDE, such as VC++, you might have difficulty in learning Eclipse, particularly at first glance, especially if you do not have a priority to do so. Again, it depends on time and effort.

Your question request a comparison between apples and pears. C++ is a programming language. Microsoft Visual C++ Express is one of many development tools that you can use to create programs using the C++ programming language. Microsoft Visual C++ Express supports native C++ development, and supports development in 'managed C++,' a Microsoft-specific derivative of the C++ language, aimed specifically at the .NET platform.

Yes.
No. Visual C++ Express is free, but Visual Studio C++ must be bought. The Express edition is a subset of the Studio release.
C++ is a superset of C, with some things changed, so it is more correct to say that learning C is easier than learning C++.
No. C++ is an extension of C. By the time you learn C++, you have learned C.
Nevermind, I did it.
