"Better" is subjective. For me, it means:

1. Free
2. Small
3. Easy to use

LccWin32 fits all the above.

Since I'm used to being coddled by MS applications with their automatic
installs, I'm always a bit unsure what to do when confronted by an FTP site
full of files, as the MinGW site has. I found a nice (2.7 meg compressed)
MinGW download at:

   http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/software/gcc.exe

(The link was at:
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ide-and-gui.html )

The author chopped a bit out to make it small (including splitting windows.h
into wingdi.h winuser.h), but it comes with a nice IDE, and is only a bit
over 10 meg decompressed). It might be helpful for people (like me) who just
want to

The Borland compiler would be my last resort - I had a lot of negative
experiences with it over the last couple of months, and it's a bloated
beast.
