anyone know a good C++ IDE?
Visual Studio is too overkill

    @fuck2code the biggest one is asynchronous functions (a linter doesn't have to freeze all other plugins while linting, for example)

    @fuck2code no problem :)

    Vim or if you have a proper project structure kind of thing going on, try devC++

    I recommend visual studio. Intellisense is a godsend.

    VSCODE?

    Vim, or if you are less than a mortal vscode and if you are just a weakling clion

    CLion of you are a student

    @Condor kinda disagree! It's true that so many more C++ devs use VIM, but that doesn't make it any prettier. You can't deny that the productivity is much higher when:

    1) you don't have to grep for references instead of just pressing a key

    2) auto completion

    3) integrated gdb

    I appreciate VIM has all of these 3, but sorry, there's no comparison between VIM and VS or Eclipse or CLion!

    @Condor Yeah sure it makes sense in these scenarios! But, say, we're coding on a Unix box (please, no C++ developing in Windows, it's just a pain), then I feel better off just using Eclipse!

    RE finding references that's exactly what I was talking about: I'm not talking about *text* references, but actual usages, which includes:

    - usages inside macros
    - read only or write only references (including functions that take non-const ref)

    Aaaand it excludes comments! So much more powerful than just text search! Also, it doesn't fiddle around with ctags!

    Anyway, I use VIM myself, it's no biggie. But again, if I have to code in a big, convoluted code base, we'll, Eclipse it's the way!
