    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.

            For me, it's a toss-up between VSCode and Qt Creator. Have tried many others, like Codelite, and they all came up a little short. I've been using QT Creator longer, so I lean that way a little more.

                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: .

                    Isn't the build system external to QtCreator?

                        It might have been. Like all open source tools, there's a certain amount of DIY associated with it. I would have expected, however, that it built it's own native projects correctly out-of-the-box. That was not the case when I used it.

                            I guess you're talking about qmake. Well, there's a reason why they decided to move on to cmake.

                              For me is Qt Creator, although Visual Studio 2017 is also quite good. I found that Qt Creator works very well with big projects. Visual Studio 2017 is also quite good, specially with the option of building remotely.

                                Now one of the dos/Windows versions. I first learned TECO on a PDP 10 in 1972 when my company moved from IBM to DEC. I used it professionally in TOPS-10, TOPS-20, RSX, and VMS. I now have Windows and Linux systems at home. If I could get a VMS system at a reasonable price I'd probably do so though more to get EVE/TPU than anything. Have been watching the group porting VMS to x86 with interest, but waiting to see what they offer to non-commercial users. Right now it looks like they offer a free limited-time license (alpha emulation) but you have to backup everything before it expires and re-download and re-install/restore. I'm not sure I want the hassle, though I loved working in that environment.

                                  I did a fair amount of work on PDP-11's/RT-11 and Vaxen in the 1980's. My final project in that environment had a requirement that the delivered source code could only be in FORTRAN-77, which didn't support some of the VAX/VMS extensions I wanted to use. I wrote a code generator that converted the sources written for the extensions into pure 77. The generator was a combination of TECO macros and VAX/VMS DCL, and was probably one of the butt-ugliest things I've ever written.
