Upon the release of Microsoft [[Visual C++]] 1.0]], the functionality of CodeView was integrated into a single programming environment, known as the [[Integrated development environment|Integrated Development Environment]] (IDE) (though CodeView was still available in the 16-bit versions of Visual C++). [[QuickC]] and a number of other development tools that starts with Quick also did this. This integration is seen by many developers to be a more natural way of developing software since coding and debugging can be done without switching programs or context.

This integration is so popular that most development tools and/or platforms offer similar products or features. Today, the debugger is considered an integrated and essential part of the [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] family of products.
