  Well according to me turbo c is quite better..no doubt GCC supports many languages but personally if you want to work on c++ Programs then go for turbo c

  Until now,
  
  i have used turbo C but for doing some advance GUI programming GCC is perfect.
  You can insert STL, Xlib in it.
  
  You can create Java like GUI-AWT programming in it.

  TurboC is better for basic level programming where as gcc is better for advanced level programming

  GCC is regularly developed/maintained and it confirms with the standard. It is fast and simple.

  Turbo C is a good compiler but only when u r doing basic C/C++ programs....but as u said if u want to develop a GUI application GCC is preferable...

  Turbo C is only good for basic programs.For big projects i haven't seen people using turbo c..there are many other tools which can be used with gcc.In gcc u can actually do lot of things which are not possible on turbo c.

  If you are using only windows, they try Dev-C++ it uses mingw(a port of gcc for windows) as its compiler and can be configured to use any gcc-compatible compiler. Although the Dev-C++ project isn't updated nowadays it is one of the best compilers for doing basic-intermediate level & GUI-based C/C++ programming on windows.
  
  I don't know if gcc can be installed as a standalone compiler and can be used from the command line on windows.
