I don't think you'll find a significantly better
std lib than the Dinkumware lib shipping with VC.
(Other than a newer version of it, of course.)
As for the compiler: You could buy Comeau C++.
It's only 50$, and it's generally accepted as the
best C++ compiler around. I have yet to find a
bug in it (if I report an error for one of the
other compilers we use, the statement that "como
does (not) compile this" usually is enough to get
the case accepted as a bug) and its diagnostics
are really excellent. OTOH, it has at least two
serious drawbacks: First, it generates C code
and needs another compiler to generate obj files.
(However, VC, which you already have, will do
fine.) Second, it doesn't plug into the IDE.
Writing this I remember that I heard that Intel's
C++ compilers plugs into VS. I have never used it,
though, and don't know how its compliance compares
to VC7.1. (It was said to be far superior to VC6.
But then, in this millenium, what wasn't?)

I do write a lot of template code on CodeWarrior.
Its main advantage over VC is that it got two-phase
lookup. The fact that VC misses this can make
porting template code from VC to other compilers a
PITA.
