Tried KDevelop and Anjuta - too many dependencies to resolve in both cases, and I don't have the bandwidth to download them all. (Seems like Mandrake 9.0 won't install all of KDevelop from the cds...) So currently I'm using Kate, which is handly for the actual editing. I just want something that will compile stuff and manage my makefile for me. Gonna look into Scite later; I use it on Windows for editing but wasn't aware it could do any building/running stuff.

Give it a try, you might like it.

I have, for several years. I hate it.

Did you have anything useful to say, other than loathing vim/emacs and the discussion of those tools being useful editors for development purposes?

You don''t like it. It''s getting old. Here, let me hand you a tissue. Go cry in the corner, poor bastard.

Yes. The poster was implying that there only was an initial hurdle in learning vim, and that once you got over that you would almost certainly like it. I offered anecdotal evidence that this was not so.

Nice. Keep working on it.

Joke? I was betting with myself how many posts it took for someone to say "vi" or "emacs". It''s getting old. Really old.

Where have you added something useful to the conversation? Hell, you haven''t even stated what you''re using for an IDE or a recommendation.

You''re merely patronizing other ''anecdotal'' offerings to the thread, in which you seem to be fueling an argument that you state is ''getting old'', in fact ''Really old''.

Nice work.

I generally use Emacs, but for large projects i prefer Anjuta. For windows users i would recommend Anjuta.

I''ve just tried the latest build of Anjuta, and I''m very impressed. I hope they continue their work on this IDE. I would recommend this, in addition to the plethora of people who have already stated as such, to someone who is moving over from MSVC to a Linux environment.

I''m going to move my current GTK project into Anjuta and give it the full drive around the block from a project aspect.

I really liked Anjuta too, if only it didn''t insist on the code structure... there''s a new beta, but I haven''t had time to dl & compile it yet. Which version are you using?

I''m using the latest stable from May 9th, 2003: 1.0.2.

I had some issues with Glade, but I''m pretty sure they are known issues... and I don''t critically need it to work anyway.

By code structure, I assume you mean importing files from outside the source directory ( you have to copy them in )? If that is what you''re talking about, yes it''s annoying and I''m pretty sure that will change ( though I don''t know if it''s been done in 1.1.1 ).

well Kdevelop ?

it seems the best way for those who are familiar with msvc..

now just begin with that and ends up with gvim.

Heya!

I''m a bit surprised no one mentioned Visual Slickedit yet.
Sure, it costs alot, but if you''re prepared to pay then you''ll probably have the best IDE avaliable.
