I tried it when it first came out.  I recall that it had a VERY nice
debugger included, and that it used its own unique object file format
(something other than .obj files).  I remember being impressed overall
and putting it back on the shelf because of the incompatable object file
format, and maybe because of a runtime library missing functions I
was used to having.  MIX subsequently released a later version called
(I think) Power-C, which I bought but never installed.

I remember thinking the same thing.
