Recommend C compiler for MSP430

Hi i just recently purchased the easy web 2 development board.

I wa just wondering what are the best suggested C compiler to use with the MSP430?

i know there are a few out there. Any recomendations would be appreciated.

Free would be nice!

There is a free mspgcc toolchain available (see http://www.mikrocontroller.net/msp430.en.htm ). I worked with it but the commercial IAR Embedded Workbench is much easier to start with. But on the other hand it is a very expensive software. But I think the kickstart set from Texas Instruments includes a limited version of the Embedded Workbench.
