What IDE is your choice for C/C++ project?
-
VS Code, because I can use it on multiple platforms.

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.

I'm starting to really like VS Code. A little late to the party, I know, but better late than never.
I really like it, only used it lightly so far but seems very powerful.

VS Code and the various c++ plugins, CMake for a build system gives you 'portability' (I'm working on something that needs to use various C++ compilers)

Qt Creator. It's the best cross-platform IDE I've ever used. Besides, I kinda dislike MSVC, it's just too heavy for my taste, and it's heavy mainly because of lots of features I never use.

Vim, make, git ... even on Windows these days. I tried using VS2019, but I just can't get myself used to shortcuts that no other Windows program uses: shift+ctrl+home doesn't select everything from cursor to top of file, ctrl+left/right doesn't move the cursor by word, shift+arrows don't select correctly, and a whole host of other shortcuts that all Windows programs support. If anyone knows how to change the brain-damaged shortcuts to match every other Windows program, I'd appreciate it.

make, git and SublimeText. I see the value in VS, but honestly it is too bloated and full of bells and whistles to be even remotely useful. Eclipse is just horrible, it has all the faults of VS plus a gazillion different versions making it next to impossible to Google for a solution.

Qt Creator. It works across platforms and is open source (if your code is open-source). It supports many toolsets. I use it to build an app for Windows, Mac OS and Linux from the very same source code.

Another vote for VSCode (until I need assembly language debugging, when I resort to Visual Studio - although WinDbg would probably do the job). I do cross-platform development, on Windows with WSL. I use CMake and do my builds from the command line. I'd used Visual Studio previously, but had been getting dissatisfied with it - I just prefer VSCode as an editor...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Hi, I don't know which VS2019 are you using. Mine works as expected with all the shortcuts you described. And also, you can change every single shortcut in Visual Studio to do exactly whatever you want.

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:

These youngsters don't know what they missed. Brief could also go, what was it, 50 line mode? So very nice.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
43 or 50 depending on your hardware. Either was a massive step up from the standard 25 lines!

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
“If we get $100,000, we will go to Potato blockchain.” Enable the dream!
You can, but Brief did it better - you could open two or more windows on the same file so you could build an enum, a switch that processed it, and the methods that called all at the same time; or compare two lists and have them scroll together; or ... ah, I'm getting a tear in my eye now ... :-D

I develop - as hobby - sdr software. The "toolset" I am using is a gcc/g++ toolchain (mingw for cross compilation) b. the gdb debugger c. CMake and qmake as Make generators and Make d. vi(m) for all editing e. latex for creating documents I work under Linux, develop for Linux, cross compile for Windows (using the mingw64 toolchain) and RPI (but that is Linux of course) I experimented with VS on Linux: horrible I experimented with QCreator on Linux: less horrible, but completely useless. I do use a lot of Qt stuff though, and I am willing to use the qt designer to prepare widgets, although the simpler ones are just in coding. The point is: who is in control, and those fancy IDE's seem to know things better than I do, they seem to enforce all kinds of decisions and want me to follow their rules. I'm old enough to know better!!!! I really do not like that, so I am in full control of the software and its development. (my current (main) project consists of over 100 files, it supports 6 to 8 different input devices, the project comprises about 50000 lines of code, so, yes it is toy project since it is hobby, but no it is not toy project when looking at the size and complexity).
