A:
Eclipse - http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
It's a package of both an IDE, and the gnu compiler and debugger.
You can also use VIM, Notepad++ or emacs. But they lack some of the features eclipse and VS have.

VIM, Notepad++ and emacs are Not IDEs, right ?

Yep, Vim/Notepad++ lack the memory-eating feature of modern IDEs that consume half a gig to load a massive plug-in framework nobody uses. Emacs is an operating system, so it isn't fair to compare it to a text editor.

They might be convenient editors, but they dont aid in any way for debugging/compiling/managing large scale projects

@Am emacs ships with an integrated step debugger (GUD), integrated version control (VC, though it is not is good), a compilation mode that makes it easy to jump to errors (M-x compile), and support for completion / jumping to code via the tags or semantic packages. It does not do all of these things the same way a mainstream IDE would, and it doesn't shove the features in your face, but the features are there if you look for them.

@Soufiane: GNU Emacs, as of 23.2.1, ships with CEDET. As such, it can be configured to behave like a full-fledged IDE. Also, all of those things Justin said add to that.

A:
I don't, typically, with C/C++, simply because most IDEs enforce a project structure on you that isn't console-friendly. That and most of the projects I work on have fairly complex build systems out of the usual "build, rebuild, clean".

A:
The guys that do some of the most interesting and varied work usually use some version of:
- Emacs (Xemacs, microEmacs, GNU Emacs, etc.)
- Vi (Vim being the most popular)
Even when they're working on Windows.

A:
Notepad.
We also use those old punch cards for "portability" of our code. Get it?
I use VC++, but since you have ruled that out, Code::Blocks and Eclipse will do.
If you're looking for a simple editor, Notepad++ is lightweight, but it doesn't have autocomplete or anything awesome.

Doesn't Visual Studio make all C and C++ code .net and add extra stuff?

2010-05-23 23:36:56
@dave: No, of course not. You can build native applications using even the latest version of Visual C++.

So Visual Studio can be used in the exact same way as Bloodshed Dev-C++ or any of the others?

2010-05-23 23:39:42
@dave9909 Yes. You're looking for "Win32 Applications" which VS does support MFC/ATL are also Native but use additional Microsoft Libraries. C++.net is not native.

@dave9909: .net is a framework, it isn't a language. It is used to "accelerate" development of rich windows applications, but you DONT need to use it, and you shouldn't when it isnt necessary =)

@dave9909 install visual c++ and the win32 libraries(one name is *Windows SDK*) and create win32 apps projects

@dave9909: Also you can turn off precompiled headers if you want it even more Bloodshed Dev-C++-esque

Well, at my old job we used KDevelop. Not that I recommend it over VS.

Kdevelop 4 improves a lot on Kdevelop 3. I've actually been using it a bit because of some of the better features it brings.It doesn't replace Vim, my tool of choice, but Kdevelop 4 has really made me happy.

So v4 is actually usable now? It doesn't miss half the stuff, and it's reasonably polished?

KomodoEdit when I'm editing web stuff such as PHP or Ruby(rails and not)
Kate when I'm working with everything else
Visual Studio is what I use at work

Am I tho only one who uses NetBeans and SunStudio?
Before using NetBeans, I only used VS, so I was stunned when I saw code completion features it had. They were SO much better than Visual Studio 2008 (though 2010 made it much better).
My experience with it was great. SunStudio is similar to NetBeans, but as far as I know only works on Solaris-based operating systems. Also, SunStudio has its own compilers which are supposedly standard-compliant and should be better than GCC (are they really, I don't know, didn't test them much).

Yes, it does. Among available versions on Sun's site, there is edition that works with C and C++. Also, if you downloaded Java-only version, goto tools->plug-ins and you'll find one named C/C++. It does the trick. Still, Java is first class language in Netbeans and some options are only available for it, but C and C++ support is very good.

It includes a cross-platform class library, integrated development tools and a cross-platform IDE. Thats why I added the "?!" at the end of "Qt".
