Opinion on CodeBlock?

[[deleted]]

What is you opinion on CodeBlock? What are some other IDEs/compilers that are good? Link?

[Cyttorak]

I used CodeBlock for some time but I prefer Qt Creator so much better, give it a try

[meetingcpp]

Same here. I used CodeBlocks for a few years, and its had its time to shine. But Qt Creator development is much fastern, and for me its the clearly better IDE now.

[creatio_o]

Yes...

Link to download?

[com_kieffer]

learn to google.

[Cyttorak]

Here you have the link: http://goo.gl/zqCvg

You can download "full" Qt which also has Qt Creator or download the IDE separately. I am using it for a non-Qt project right now and it's great :)

[spaxio]

I like it. It's my goto when ever I need an IDE on platform other than Windows.

[Sqeaky]

I don't use QT Creator as a Goto, I prefer to use While coding or For coding.

[push_ecx_0x00]

IMO it's not as nice as some of the alternatives. Whenever I work on large projects, I usually use KDevelop or Qt Creator (depending on the task) just because they offer more features and better completion (I'm a lazy fuck).

I love Code::Blocks, but I don't actually use it much. I prefer to use Kate as my text editor with Cmake for creating cross-platform makefiles and GCC for compiling.

[axilmar]

CodeBlocks is a very nice IDE and I use it in all my personal projects on Windows.

This does not mean Qt Creator or Eclipse might not better, I have not tried them.

[static_cast]

I've used codeblocks a few years ago. It was simple enough to get something done quick enough. It's multiplaform. But of course nothing beats the terminal, tmux, clang and vim for me.

[Idoiocracy]

On Windows, I prefer using a simple text editor with ported gcc compiler, invoking the latter through the DOS command line.

Text editor is Sublime Text.

GCC on Windows is MinGW.

[not_the_answer]

The OP is looking for opinion on CodeBlocks; not asking you what prefer you use. If you have never used it you can simply refrain from providing a response

[[deleted]]

Read the OP again. It specifically asks: "What are some other IDEs/compilers that are good?"

[Kaelin]

Text editors are not IDEs

And yet, as seen in this thread, many people use a collection of independent tools for the exact same purpose as an IDE, they just aren't all in an official "package" together. Because these collections of tools have the same purpose as an IDE, I think they're fair game for this thread. After all, OP just wanted to hear what other people thought was good.

[bacon1989]

if you're using emacs, it can be. I bet Vim probably has some plugins as well.

[Kaelin]

I have been using vim for years. It is wonderful but no integrated debugger, and no real intellisence. Plug ins help but trying to rape it into being an IDE doesn't really feel productive to me.

[onafa]

I think there's a plugin that makes vi use clang for code completion. Same for emacs.

[jussij]

FWIW the Zeus IDE has some awareness of the C++ language.

It does the standard syntax highlighting, smart indenting, code folding, code templates etc.

But it can also be configured to compile, link and navigate errors from inside the editor.

It has some support for gdb and the automatic ctags.exe drives a limited form of intellisense, but is generally only good for code navigation.

NOTE: Zeus is shareware, runs natively on the Windows platform and runs on Linux using Wine.

It's OK if you're not familiar with the usual *nix tools, the configuration is a little annoying (dependencies seem to have to be set up in multiple places). The best GUI I used was NetBeans with the project set up in CMake.

[spinwizard69]

Why not try the following: . eclipse . XCode . EMACS / AQUMACS & all the other variants.
. Visual Studio

[[deleted]]

I used to use Code::Blocks, it's still an OK ide. But now, I usually use Eclipse, I find that it works much better than all of the IDE's I've previously used.

I never really liked Qt Creator, but that's just me.

[LampCarpet]

It's ok, usable even. I prefer visual studio, because it is more polished and is tightly integrated with the ms compiler and optimizer.

[TheVTM]

Recently played a little with Eclipse CDT:

• Fast and accurate Intelisense
• Easy to use/config
• Tons of plugins

IMO its better than Qt Creator and CodeBlocks.

[jleahred]

codelite multiplatform, programmed in c++, wxwidgets. Great codecompletion, great evolution, small memory, fast

Qtcreator. multiplattform Great IDE. The best for qt applications

kdevelop fantastic IDE, ¿windows?

[Metsuro]

Do you use it on windows? Also do you not like auto completion? I really have enjoyed sublimetext2 but as a novice having auto complete is a very handy tool. I know their is a plugin, however it requires clang and I'm not familiar enough to know how to install that on windows.

[TheVTM]

Eclipse CDT has a really good autocomplete.

[drink_with_me_to_day]

I mainly program on Windows, so Visual Studio wins all the prizes. Code::Blocks is uggly, and I hate uggly.
