I thought Borland's compilers were fairly popular in the early 90s.  I remember
them being fairly inexpensive, and I remember hearing a lot about Borland Turbo
C and Borland Turbo C++ for DOS..  Also I seem to remember hearing that
Borland's OWL GUI toolkit for C++ was at least somewhat popular for a time in
the early-mid 90s.
