Favorite IDE?

[fishscale]

What is your favorite IDE for C++? I like eclipse fine for java, but it seems to be lacking for C++. I'd use visual studio, but this is, afterall, the ubuntu forum. So, let me rephrase: what is your favorite C++ IDE for linux?

[ch0d3]

Vim. Kommodo looks promising though.

[jimi_hendrix]

if editors count then vim

otherwise i must say, VS C# (VS VB looks nicer to me but its a terrible language so... :)

[lensman3]

Vi/Vim and the cntl^Z, "fg", "bg", "jobs" group of commands. And of course make and "touch". With the cntl^Z and VI, I run many lessons of VI and jump between the sessions with "fg". Just remember of write back out just before you do a cntl^Z. Push and pop will move you between directories.

Hope this helps.

zuh?

I like vim (or gvim if I need to copy/paste) for the awesome keyboard control. If I need a full IDE, I usually use Geany. SciTE is a pretty impressive app though.

[sloggerkhan]

I like geany. I just wish it could detect my python libs for autcompletion.

Just a guess but maybe checking your tags (~/.geany/tags) or generating python tags would help.

[ch0d3]

Anyone here use vim *as* an IDE? This can usually be accomplished for any language. As an example, here (http://blog.sontek.net/2008/05/11/python-with-a-modular-ide-vim/)is a python setup.

For learning and small scale projects, any editor and compiler is all you need. For people who are experienced in their language or doing a large project, I'd use NetBeans.

[aszxcv]

netbeans

[sujoy]

vim. i use a tiling WM, so with multiple terminals and GNUscreen, a good editor is all that you need

[Sorivenul]

Vim or Geany.

And... haven't we seen this thread before? :-k

EDIT:
For C++ a lot of folks seem to like Code::Blocks.

[fishscale]

I'm sure this thread's been discussed before, but I'm fairly new to this forum.

I don't know if I'd consider vim an IDE, it's more an editor. Editors are fine too, just wondering what people liked, since eclipse wasn't doing it for me. I might check out NetBeans, looks promising.

[marshimaro]

code::blocks, like VS.NET in windows...

[ch0d3]

By default, sure - but it does have the *potential* power of a traditional IDE.

[id1337x]

Eclipse. It is a shame it is not kept more updated because nothing matches it in features in the free software world and it seems a lot of people use it already.

[Tim Sharitt]

Favorite IDE is fairly subjective. You really need to find what works for you with your preferred language.

( I prefer emacs+slime+sbcl for lisp)

+1 to slime, haven't seen anything better than that for lisp

[phrostbyte]

Geany is good enough for me

[hessiess]

IDE = bloatwere, use a programmable editor like Vim + coupple~ of xterms ;)

[rich1939]

code::blocks, like VS.NET in windows...

+1 for CODE::BLOCKS

[Exershio]

lol damn I just use gedit + terminal (make) nowadays. I used to use Visual Studio on Windows and I never thought I'd ever use a plain text editor.

Ah well, I like to keep things simple. I might check out geany later.

I think there might be a contradiction here.

[u497]

dev-c++ /programmers notepad [works on windows and linux ] / kwrite-kate/ and if i hawe time to install and load netbesans too is good enough.
my favorite is devc++ but it freezes on linux i dont know why. but if i find a way to use it on linux ill use it on linux too.
:lolflag:

[godlike_panos]

++Code::Blocks

Really nice IDE that recently made it to the Ubuntu repos.

[raydeen]

Eric, but I'm only really into Python atm.

[ch0d3]

indeed!

Eclipse \\:D/

For Java:

or for C/C++:

Lacking for C++? Really?

I just love the cdt and pydev plugins on Eclipse Ganymede.

Never impose an opinion as a rule.

[screaminj3sus]

I use codeblocks in windows, but I just discovered geany and I love it, the ui is clean and easy to use and it's fast.

@bruce, I saw you post about geany a couple of times saying its complicated/not clean looking but so far it seems the oppisite to me... it's pretty simple.

Never impose an opinion as a rule.

With eclipse's pydev, it's good at determining methods from libraries and such, but it never seems to recognize instances for auto completion.

Example is that if I import, say, datetime, I can start writing out something and do a = datetime.date.today() and the autocomplete will be fine with detecting the bits in datetime and autocompleting as I type. But say I have my own class open in another tab and I do import myclass. Then I instantiate myclass, a = myclass(thing1, thing2, thing3) and I then type a. hoping to have method names or variables autocomplete and nothing. It's the reverse of the problem I have with geany. Geany seems to only detect local instances and methods for autcompletion, while eclipse's python plugin detects the whole system python path and libs but doesn't autocomplete stuff origination from my own code.

Komodo Edit

[spupy]

I'm just writing my own editor/IDE! ;)
