GUI Recomandation

[bioShark]

Hi

I would like to start working with GUI under Linux. In linux area I am a n00b, but my profession is programmer (under Windows). I have found 2 good tools, as I was told: Anjuta and KDevelop. Could you please let me know if you recommend one of them, or if there are any other tools which were good enough for GUI.

I would also like personal opinions about either of them, if there are any.

Thanks.

Hello,

Take a look at Code::Blocks IDE.

Read also the small notes (Note 1 - 9) below the instructions.

Basically you don't need a IDE. you could just use a text editor.
also what GUI Toolkit are gonna use?
if it is QT then you would probably be best with KDevelop.

many programmers prefer to use powerful editor (like vim or emacs) to edit all files in all languages - so when they change languages, they don't have to start with new strange IDE.

IMHO and in my experience, IDE helps you to "write" code, but is less helpfull for refactoring. Good editors are opposite: they are better in refactoring.

That said, i *do* use IDE for Python (SPE), because is really simple and good. :-)

I use Emacs and can't really bring myself to say (or find) anything negative about it.

If you do go with Emacs, though, I'd definitely suggest grabbing the packages built from SVN because they have Xfont support.

since you mentioned emacs this thread wont be complete if I neglect that I use vim. :)
