What Free IDE Do You Use?
postermmxvicom writes "I program only occasionally and mostly for personal interest. I went to update my favorite free IDE, Dev C++, yesterday and noticed that it had not been updated since 2005! I went looking for other free IDEs and came across Code::Blocks and Visual Studio Express. I work from a Windows machine, use C++, and make mostly console apps; but have written a few Windows apps and D3D or OpenGL apps. I wanted to know what free IDEs you use and recommend. What do you like about them? What features do they lack? What about them irritate you (and what do you do to work around these annoyances)? For instance, when I used Visual C++ 6.0 in college, there was an error in getline that had to be fixed, and the code indenting in DevC++ needed to be tweaked to suit my liking."
That's somewhat obvious.
I'm sure lots of people are happy with emacs.
I'm sure lots of people are happy with American cars too, but we have objective standards for a reason.
I've used eclipse since version 2. I can't comment on it, I'm still waiting for it to open.
I'm here all week, try the tuna salad!

If you're writing 10,000 lines in a single file regularly, then your probably need to re-evaluate your coding methods
Word wrap is deceiving. I only wrote 5 lines of code. They are just very long lines.
What else would you need?
Vallium, Panadol and Coke.

Excuse me, something's wrong with your boldfaced text. When I mouse over it, nothing happens?

Strangely enough, you're not the first person I've seen who's sed that.
Because I lost two of the fingers on my third hand in a freak threshing accident, you insensitive clod.
You guys are such weenies.
Did you read the author's question? He's doing this for his own personal interest. He doesn't want to have to kill and dress a buffalo with his bear hands just to eat a hotdog.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Wow! what a smart comment. I'm impressed. Did you write that yourself, or was there a wizard for it?

I don't grep it.
Hey! That's my sig you're smoking there!
Well at least having bear hands will make it easier to kill the buffalo. Where do I get a set of those?
Sturgeon was an optimist.
Stop it guys. Less is more.
