Programming Tools You've Used?

crazy_speeder asks: "I'm looking for programming tools for the whole development cycle, including documentation. The project I'm working on will use C++ and Java. What has been your experience using tools like C++ Builder, Netbeans, Eclipse, JBuilder, Doxygen, ClearQuest, Rational Rose, g++, and any compiler, debugger, or IDE that you may have used. I need tools that will handle auto documentation, unit testing, design, file editing, and the like. As far as platform goes, Linux is the target OS while Linux or Solaris will be the host OS."

Re:Don't write C++ without boost! by gokeln · 2005-03-08 09:50 · Score: 0, Troll

Don't take this as a troll, or anything, but I find Boost's overuse of templates impenetrable. And, God, I'd hate to have to debug any misuse of the Boost libraries. Are there any good debuggers that are template-savvy? If somebody could automatically parse even the STL structures into a nice graphical representation, that would be a good start.
