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

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.
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).

There is no choice. Visual Studio is the only option.

VisualStudio, bacause I can add VisualAssistX and it becomes unbeatable on every aspect. If I have to use another compiler either I set VS to use it or I edit the code on VS and build with the OEM IDE.

Isn't this what Notepad++ does when duplicating a file to a second view?

VS2008 still works

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:

Brief. Ahhhh, I still use VC6.0 for my embedded C projects editor. Slick Edit is fine, but nothing is faster than VC6.0 with *windows* instead of tabs. I though VS stopped supporting BRIEF emulation back at VS5.0 or so. The last VS I used is circa 2015- and no BRIEF emulation. What editor out there supports BRIEF emulation and MDE-style windows? What is an old guy to do? (I dislike tabs- even when one can pop out files.)
Do we weigh less at high tide?

VSCode is really great. Quite light-weight but so usable. And you can use it (more easily, more smoothly) for numerous types of projects where Visual Studio felt more bound to winforms etc. (too bulky for HTML/JavaScript or Node or whatever). Really nice that it is the same experience across platforms too.

MultiEdit and/or Eclipse
-
I agree. I have used it for cross platform development a lot. Windows host and build/debug on ESP32, various ARM chips with or without Linux etc... Extremely flexible and light weight, so much better than eclipse.
I've tried to use Eclipse a couple of times and got frustrated.

Agree VS uses a lot more resources and not as flexible for smaller projects.
