Difficulty with one particular IDE does not count as a valid reason to stick with 32-bit x86 to me.

While the above is true, having the most popular compiler and IDE of the platform default to 32-bit does argue very strongly to *not stop* building 32-bit by default _on Windows_.

This might not stay this way!

Of course, but we can always change our default if/when Microsoft changes theirs. In the end, building for 32-bit or 64-bit is not our call to make. Our default settings should be designed to work for most users.

It also departs from the assumption that *all* VS users are total numwitz, and do not attempt and succeed to set up and select a 64-bit project.
