C++ Ide

by Mike Nelson · in Technical Issues · 06/21/2003 (8:32 am) · 9 replies

At my work I've started doing a lot JAVA programming. Someone there introduced me to a great JAVA IDE, IntelliJ IDEA. This tool turns out to be hands-down the best IDE that I've ever used. Coming home to working in MSVC++ is pretty painful after using this. Are there any C++ IDE's out there that can compare to the feature set that IntelliJ has?

Also Visual Assist and Workspace Wiz make Visual Studio a much more productive enviroment than it normaly is. Visual Assist is one of those things that once you use it you can't figure out how you lived without it.

Look on the bright side, it pays the bills.

Visual Assist is great. I can't believe Microsoft hasn't bought these guys.

@J. Donavan Stanley: Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try Visual Assist. Looks like just what I'm looking for.

@Michael: JAVA programming is fun stuff actually. Always fun to learn a new language and platform (J2EE).

As someone who ues IDEA on a regular basis, there is nothing I have found for any other language that comes close to IDEA.

As stated above, Visual Assist does come close . . .

I've been using Visual Assist a bit. It's no IDEA but it's a lot better than plain old MSVC++. Looks like it's well worth the price. This should help ease my pain. :)

Lets just rewrite torque in Java, then we can use IntelliJ !

Kidding...but everyone who uses that IDE raves about it. Lets hope some opensource folks clone it for C++. (I hope so anyway, so that i can finally get off emacs)
