Best C++ IDE or Editor for Windows
Hello, everyone.
For a long time now, for C/C++ development, I have been using Notepad++ and the command line for compiling C/C++ programs. Now, I want to start using an IDE, and I have tried out quite a few. Currently, I am thinking of either Eclipse CDT or Netbeans C++, but other suggestions are welcome too. T开发者_运维问答he problem is that I cannot find any recent, unbiased comparisons of both of these softwares. So, I would like to hear opinions on which IDE is better. By "better", I mean in terms of code-completion, configurability, ease of use, speed, and especially debugging capabilities and debugging speed. I really need help on choosing a C/C++ IDE. Thanks!
EDIT: Because I develop on both Windows and Linux, I need an IDE that is compatible with both Windows and Linux, and by default uses GCC by default, so Visual Studio is not an option for me. Thanks!
I have used Eclipse for years, and it is a solid IDE with a wide range of capabilities. If you haven't tried it out to see how well it fits your needs, I would recommend giving it a shot.
That being said, I have recently started using NetBeans and I must say that I like it a bit better than Eclipse. It seems to be more streamlined than Eclipse (less memory usage, faster to start up, etc). I have not tested its built-in debugging capabilities however, so I can't say anything on that front.
Thankfully, there are a number of freely-available, quality IDEs out there. I would recommend installing a handful and trying to perform the same basic set of tasks in each (create a new project, add in your source code, build, run, debug, etc) and see how they feel. Pretty quickly, you should start to get a feeling about which ones meet your needs and which are lacking.
After your question edit:
I'd strongly recommend Code::Blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/
I'd like to throw in my vote for Visual Studio.
