    "C/C++ support is not complete"

    A natural Visual C++ competitor!

    If only we had this when I was an undergraduate learning to program on Ada. Instead we were thrown into the mysteries of vi and ADA at the same time, with no hint of the existence of such a thing as an IDE or even a text editor that behaved in some way related to what we were used to. Nothing like learning to program on a language that won't let you compile if you have a few spaces in the wrong place, and a text editor that is even more baffling at first glance. My lab TA thought I was a natural programmer since I was always done first. In actuality, I was the first person to figure out that we had ftp access and to download then damn files and edit it on windows . I'm sorry, but vi never made any sense to me. Maybe that's why I'm in law school now
