I have been trying to research how to get started coding a bit in assembler and C on my miggy, and there is a lot of advice out there on what stuff to download to do this or that.  vasm and vcc seem to be currently maintained and look as though they operate similarly to how I would compile with gcc from the command line.  Is there any reason I would want one of the DevPacs or StormC or SAS/C over these?

I was in the same boat, so i picked SAS c without really evaluating the others. I will say that I have not found any inherent problems with it and its more about learning the API anyway...

Works well enough on my minimig with is a basic 68000 as well as my 1200 which is slightly more powerful :)

One  advantage of it I do see is that it seems to be the most common used with the source I have found in aminet and on the internet.

I do like using the SCOPTIONS files and the UI tool. Seems to beat altering a chain of esoteric compiler switches.  

I guess it would depend on if my intention to create my own programs or port existing gcc programs ...

For me SAS c and Cygnus Ed are great :)
