    vim & make and, sometimes, git. Visual Studio on Windows, but I usually write C/C++ code on a Linux box.

      VS. No contest. Just the best IDE on the planet, bar none. Thankfully, my days of EDLIN and vi are well past ... and Brief was the reason for that! :laugh:

          A real blessing, measured by my current headache.

            I thought Brief was it when it came to full function editors. It was great but VS has surpassed it like no other; it is now the best, no argument there! What will we have in another twenty years?

              Visual Studio and Visual Assist and ReSharper C++. (maybe overkill, but both have their advantages)

                Even today, Brief did some thigs I miss from VS: being able to edit - and see on screen at the same time - four or five different files was just wonderful! Screen Split in VS just doesn't cut it. But it does so many, many wonderful things that you forgive the little bits missing. :laugh:

                    I have never used Brief, so I don't know what I'm talking about to see four or five different files at once in it, but you can do that in VS can't you? Just drag the tab out of the main window, or right-click on the file in the tab bar and select 'Float'. If your tabs are top or bottom, you can have several windows around your screen to see them at once. If your tabs are right or left (like mine), the tabs take up a lot of space so getting several windows open simultaneously is harder. I'm sure you have tried this before, and it isn't equivalent to Brief's method, but if not, have fun! edit - you can even use Window snapping on them

                                  Turbo C/C++ Quincy But I also rolled my own a few years ago, in theory it will support any language for which you have a command-line compiler/linker installed. I've used it for C#, C/C++ (with a few different compilers), and VB.net . Perfect for developing simple command-line utilities. No overhead, such as solution and project files (ptui). Visual Studio has too many features I don't require -- it's bloated and reminds me of Clippy.
