Which C++ editor do you use?

[MrTarky]

Hello there, I have started to learn C++, and I am wondering which editor do you guys use?

I am currently using Dev-C++.

There is something better than this one?

Which IDE do you recommend to start learning this programming language?

Thanks.

Buy (or try for as long as you want without any violation of terms, expiration date or missing features..)

.. I like to be independent.. I typically don't like IDE's targeted towards any specific language.. I usually end up using more than one programming language on any given project, anyway.. Though I usually make software as a service, or software for my own personal use so I don't necessarily target any device or environment except for my own.. Or whomever I'm making a niche program for..

Visual Studio is much better for me.

On Unix machines use nano, on Windows you should go with Notepad++. It's much better to learn C++ right than using auto-complete.

Well, no. Even if I always use nano for quick edits it's no good as a programming environment.

Sure, with a grain of salt. It's much more prone to crash or slow down to inoperable levels... I wish it didn't have these issues and I could settle for it but right now I'm leaning towards VS Code which so far seems to be almost on par in terms of features and a bit more stable.

If you develop for Windows, then Visual Studio, in general, is the best IDE on planet - pretty much no matter which language u write in it (as far as it's officially supported, ofc). Personally, I never used (and most likely never will in my life) like 80 - 90% of VS features. Sometimes I just seek for relatively minemalistic/clean IDE, and code::blocks is perfect for c++/c. Good thing about code::blocks it's cross-platform - yes, ofc you will need to learn alot when moving lets say from windows to linux development, but at least, you would have familiar IDE, lol. Yes, there's that Visual Studio Code, but personally I don't like it (I used it clean, without c++ extension).

This thread would've been better off using a poll... Else we'll have never ending Visual Studio / VSCode / nano and what not comments...

Sure and that would reveal how boring the thread really is. A simple one word answer with no explanation doesn't interest anyone - if we'd be into that we could just look up a market share diagram. The poll would be better, at least I wouldn't get pinged with a new post notification when someone wants to tag VS.

A simple text editor it's good enough to learn, an IDE will have some magic that you must understand, when you understand the fundamentals and particularly the build system (how the compilers works and so on) an IDE will be less "houdini" and will help you a lot (the key here is to remove the magic, you must understand how/why things works)
Text Editors (That I have used in a daily basis 1yr+):Nano,Vim,VsCode,Atom,Notepad++
IDEs (That I have used in a daily basis 1yr+):Visual Studio,CLion,Code::Blocks
