What is your goal?

If you have to get a project out, and you have a paid license for 
CodeVisionAVR, it's probably easiest just to use that.  CVAVR takes you by 
the hand and leads you through the process.  Support on the Yahoo group and 
from HPInfotech is quite good.  It's not necessarily a "better" tool than 
WinAVR, but its learning curve is easier to overcome, and it's certainly 
better than acceptable.

If your goal is to develop software under WinAVR, and you're not familiar 
with the GNU tools or comfortable with the edit-compile-debug cycle outside 
a completely integrated IDE, you might want to check out avrfreaks.net 
articles on the tools.  Personally, I have a much harder time navigating 
avrfreaks than using the tools, but there is helpful information there if 
you're willing to dig for it.

If you want to develop under both UN*X and Windoze, gcc is a much better 
option.  It is difficult, but possible, to write code that compiles and runs 
under both WinAVR and CVAVR (I've done it many times), but it involves 
becoming quite familiar with both tools, and giving up some of the 
simplifying assumptions of CVAVR, as well as hiding syntax differences 
behind macros.
