Visual Studio ooor... - Developers

So.. What IDE, or whatever it's called do you use [b][i]the most[/i][/b] for programming ?

VISHUALL STEWDIO. Because its there and it works.

I'd have to select both :C

Code::Blocks, cross platform and awesome :D

Code::Blocks is great, but I want a job in programming, so every year of experience with VC++ is something I can put on my CV.

I use Visual Studio on windows and the appropriate windowed version of vim on Mac and Linux.

I use Visual Studio, it does all I need so I can't say I've been tempted to try anything else.

vim emacs is a good OS though.

I use other crap. Partially since I don't use windows, and partially since I work with quite a few different languages, build tools and deployment strategies. Using gedit with a terminal in the bottom means I can use the same thing for everything from web programming and deployment to my server, to my C game that uses autotools, to things written in Lua which I invoke manually. Frankly my productiveness is lower in an environment which forces a singular approach. Intellsense might be nice (when you're using a language it supports, and it works), but it's not all that much easier than reading the damn manual anyway. [editline]10:54AM[/editline] Also people who learn programming using Visual Studio or any IDE really (myself included, actually), give me the shits. The amount of people who don't understand that VS is not a compiler, and don't understand how all these form designer files magically come together is astounding and worrying to me.

I use Visual Studio. Mostly because it was the first thing I saw when I searched for a C++ compiler.

Visual Studio.

Use notepad.exe

[QUOTE=Chandler;22650071]Rub it in why don't you :([/QUOTE] Hehe. Autotools isn't as bad as it looks I've decided. Well it is, but it's easy enough to use. The biggest problem is it's so old that there is so much stuff on the web about the old bits it's hard to find good information on the new bits. Much like OpenGL really.

Vim at the moment, most of my Programming isn't done on Windows and once you get used to vim it's quite productive.

I also enjoy Eclipse. :dance:

Visual studio is pretty average for C++, Intellisense isn't particularly powerful. Now if we take a look at C# in VS...

Code::Blocks

I use eclipse when I work on personal projects but I use VS at school because we're learning how to be VB code monkeys...

I use Visual Studio for C#, and while it's great, it's seriously affecting me whenever I code in a language that doesn't have tools similar to Visual Studio. I've gotten to the point where I rely on Intellisense being there :saddowns:

Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition is bo fo sho

SharpDevelop for C#, Code::Blocks for C++.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;22648306]emacs is a good [b]OS[/b] though.[/QUOTE] what Visual Studio for me. IntelliSense is really useful.

[QUOTE=LuaMilkshake;22656021]SharpDevelop for C#, Code::Blocks for C++.[/QUOTE] ditto

I use Visual Studio 2010 when I'm programming at home (for C++ and C#), and Code::Blocks/SharpDevelop for C++ and C# respectively when I'm programming from my USB key at college.

NetBeans. It has a remote compile option for C++ programs, allowing me to program and deubg Linux applications whilst programming in Windows. Oh man, i sounded like a salesman.

I use vim. Never really seen a reason to use an IDE. On Windows I used Notepad++ and MSYS.

[QUOTE=esalaka;22662537]I use vim. [B]Never really seen a reason to use an IDE[/B]. On Windows I used Notepad++ and MSYS.[/QUOTE] Convenience, faster development. Essentially you have it the wrong way round. It should be "Never really seen a reason not to use an IDE"

It's esa, we already know of his renowned hatred for anything and everything :3: (from the Solace IRC channel)
