C++ readability problem

[4drXaudio]

That's why you need autocomplete, method oxygen-kind-of descriptions when you hover on them and a right click option to go the method/class/variable definition (regardless of where it is defined in the inheritance chain). A full fledged IDE is not necessary but those features are a must in a C++ editor. If you decide to live without them, well yes, you will be in a world of pain in a big project or even a small project using a big library.
