Hello.

For several days I have been looking for an IDE for programming under C ++. So far, there is nothing but heaps of arguments; I did not find a return to Visual Studio :). I would like a good IDE and not too fancy and not "weak." And so I decided to ask here. Who uses what and why?

Thanks in advance and do not kick please :).

ps. Saw this topic here. But for example, well described and without a single minus (!) There I did not like Eclipse.

pps. Back to VS is not an option.

    Of all the alternative IDE I've tried, more or less, only Qt Creator and KDevelop can be used. - Costantino Rupert

It is difficult to say exactly what you need, because it all depends on your tasks. For example, Dev-C ++ - offsite - (there is also wxDev-C ++ - visual environment) or C-Free - offsite - is suitable for learning C / C ++ languages, as well as writing programs on WinAPI or using OpenGL - or C-Free - offsite , - despite the fact that it is so called there are 2 versions of Standard and Pro (the last paid). I am still learning C / C ++ languages, therefore, I use Dev-C ++ most often, because when I write code in C pure, it allows declaring variables where it pleases (as in C ++), and not at the beginning of the block, as in many other environments. If you need a simple environment with a form designer, then try GcIDE (not found offsite). This environment has a simple form designer, only a few components (mostly visual), which have only a few properties and events, i.e. nothing extra. Where you download it from, you can find many more development environments. I found this Wednesday by chance and decided to try it.

    Thank you for chewing so much :). - Baran

    GcIDE can not be downloaded from softpedia: ( - user6550

How about NetBeans ? I personally liked it: fast, comfortable, reliable.

    I think you got excited about fast :) - Alex Kapustin

QtCreator There is a poll for a poll. Look at the comments and the poll itself)))

    Code :: Blocks is a proven IDE for C / C ++ and Fortran 95. Detailed syntax highlighting, plugins, convenience is all about Code :: Blocks. Plus to the whole Code :: Blocks cross-platform, you do not have to create projects for different IDE on different platforms, if the project is open-source or you have several computers with different operating systems.

    • I use. But I can't help noting the auto-substitution curve, which works fine with C, and C ++ starts to get a little blunt from templates and new features. - HolyBlackCat

    Try VIM

      The advice is stupid. Firstly, vim is an editor, not an IDE. What is implemented by the plugins to it, does not reach the IDE. Secondly, vim itself takes time / desire to master (the fact that the forces spent on mastering vim pays off, we will not recall now) - alexlz
    • Vim is not an IDE. Overcoming the threshold of entry and installation of a myriad of plug-ins is not worth it. Same Code :: Blocks has everything out of the box. - Vladislav Toncharov

    I like QtCreator more, sometimes I still use NetBeans - it is also quite fast with convenient code navigation and suitable for refactoring.

      Code Blocks, like nothing superfluous, and quite convenient, as for me. Very easy IDE, as already said, nothing superfluous
