This looks like it might end up being a viable alternative to VS

#1 This is a great IDE but..
Last Time I tried it, it choked converting the project.

and to create the project on your own.. you cannot add multiple files at once.
I stopped right about there.

now for all I know these issues are both fixed in this much newer release. I might find the time to try it.

#2 Does look pretty... but how is it to use?

#3 Don't need an alternative. Never understood why there always has to be an alternative, besides maybe price. VS is an excellent programming environment. :)

However, if you look at it as another tool rather than an alternative, then that is my reason to check it out.

#4 My bet is on Eclipse rather than anything else (as an alternative with potential to topple VS)

#5 The Anjuta "import project" feature imports all files nicely, and the symbol browser even lists all classes and members. Code completion, however, does not seem work.

So far, VC++.NET 2003 is still the best IDE I've used with Torque. It's sad that there isn't a good native Linux IDE (preferably for gnome :p), but I guess that's the way it is for now...

I might try running VC++.NET on my linux box sometime using wine + mono :P

#6 Btw, there is a new branch, Anjuta2, which seems like it has a lot of potential. Unfortunately it is still in early development and I doubt it would be useful at this point for a project as large as Torque.
