What IDE is your choice for C/C++ project?
-
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?

VS Code, because I can use it on multiple platforms.

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.

CLion another excellent IDE from JetBrains. Admittedly I spend more time in WebStorm and GoLand these days, but I remember this being a really decent IDE as well.

I know the feeling. I have had to use it for quite a long time. It generally works but it can be a real PITA to actually get it to do what you need/want it to do. Probably the best experience was using it to develop an application on Xilinx's ZYNQ platform. In that case there was a preconfigured custom variant of Eclipse made by Xilinx that worked "out of the box". There are some other versions like that from various chip manufacturers but the quality varies a lot. If you have to set things up all by yourself it soon becomes a nightmare and good luck using Google to find an answer to the problems you run in to. If you can find something there are probably dozens of conflicting solutions.

I'll have to add myself to the VS bandwagon. I have been using it since v1.0 with the NT beta and it keeps getting better although a few versions were a bit iffy. It's been pretty good since 2015 I think. The thing is, I haven't anything else even close. I tried Eclipse for some embedded development and I went back to Notepad++ and command-line batch files. It's come to the point that unless it is absolutely required I am not going to even try anything else. I can't see how the learning curve could possibly be worth it because I am very productive with VS.

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

You can also duplicate a window in Visual Studio through the "Window -> New Window" commands, and drag the second copy to its own window in order to see two copies of the same file at once, but it doesn't sound as nice as Brief.

VSCode, but only because the only C/C++ I write is for the Arduino and similar microcontroller and Visual Studio doesn't support PlatformIO as far as I am aware.

Huh. You actually need an entire farm of them? I edit my replacement microkernel for Windows 10 using a single paraplegic double-amputee lunar moth.

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.
I used Qt Creator 3-4 years back. The editing was pretty nice, but the build system had some holes in it. I had to do complete rebuilds every time I changed a resource, as the build didn't consider that significant :wtf: .
