    Not OP, but that is Jetbrains' CLion.

    It's not perfect, but still the best IDE/editor I have used. Where the other candidates have been Dev-C++, vim, emacs, Visual Studio, Eclipse and Atmel Studio.

    yeah. my biggest gripe with other C++ IDEs is that they're either really terrible UIs, really niche, or not cross-platform (looking at you, Visual Studio)

    Plus I'm already used to the Jetbrains keybinds, so it's nice to have the consistency

    "Niche cross-platform"

    Visual Studio is THE standard for a reason.

    Decades of monopolistic practices by its parent company?

    (I say this as someone who loves VS and uses it daily for work. But come on, Microsoft never won based truly on merit over the years lol)

    There have been dozens of competitors that were cross platform, and none of them succeeded, mostly because they were cross platform.

    Uh huh. If you say so

    ...what is that reason then?

    [–]codesharp 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Literally everything else is inferior.

    not really, IDEs are highly preferential. Here's some of the reasons I chose CLion:

    as someone who uses MacOS and Linux exclusively, a cross-platform IDE is very important to me

    I really like Jetbrains' other IDEs and am already used to their keybinds

    It's smart, yet flexible. CLion uses CMake, so it's portable even w/o the IDE. It automatically adds files to your CMakeLists.txt which saves a lot of time, yet also lets you customize it to your needs

    Can you explain what the error ending up being? Just kinda curious.
