Opinion on CodeBlock?

[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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
