Anyone here used codeforge?

OK here's what's up. I have $50 (actually more but I want to put a limit on that) to spend. I'm thinking of buying CodeForge. I tried it a bit and I liked it a lot but I wanted to get some outside opinions on it. For those who don't know, it's a programming IDE for Unix and Linux. Anywyas I would buy a programming book but right now I have no time to read, with the PDA challenge that I'm in, and by the time i'm done i'll have more money for books and such. Either way if anyone here has used it and would like to give me their opinion on it I would appreciate it. I already have the code for the student license, so it's just a matter of entering my info.

I know it looks good, and the price is right. Cheaper than MSVC++ 6 standard, and it looks great =)Actually the class heirarchy will really help me out for this pda RTS game... hmm

To be honest there aren't too many useful alternatives on Linux, so your best bet might either be kdevelop, which has great potential, or just use your favourite editor with gcc.
Did you check out Freshmeat.net and linuxapps.com? They're usually good places for finding information on editors/dev environments.
Another program is Anjuta, but that had too many bugs when I last used it, although it too has potential.

I used it on Linux for a while, but I wouldn't personally recommend it. I can't really explain why very well, just that it's interface is very.............. odd? Half the time I couldn't understand how I was supposed to do simple tasks like linking in a library. I would never use it again, but then again, you may like it. Do they still have a "free" version to try out? If so, give it a bash.To be honest there aren't too many useful alternatives on Linux, so your best bet might either be kdevelop, which has great potential, or just use your favourite editor with gcc.

I've never used codeforge, but I've heard mixed reviews of it. Some people seem to love it, others seem to hate it. Other than that, KDevelop is starting to become a pretty nice IDE, but I don't think its up to the quality of the others mentioned here yet.

If you're looking to spend money, you might look at Visual SlickEdit. Its a great IDE, better than MS VisualStudio IMO. Its available for a ton of platforms, of which the linux academic license is $99, so its a little more expensive.I've never used codeforge, but I've heard mixed reviews of it.

It's really nice and it does things like makefiles and such for you. It's just basically a IDE for compiling C/C++ projects or files with syntax highlighting.
I use it all the time and it works fine for me, but the only thing I don't like about it is that you cannot just create a file group for having a project of just files instead of having a huge project setup with makefiles and such which could become very annoying, but then again it's fine for single file editing and such.

Has anyone here tried Eclipse? It's free and supposedly very good. It also supports a wide variety of languages.Wow is this thread old.

EDIT:
And yes, I know it is the linux forum, but the TBE project files might be handy for someone wishing to build it with Eclipse on Linux.

The Torque Build Environment was in Eclipse, but it is not maintained anymore due to the release of the express versions of Visual Studio. It would probably take some massaging to get 1.5.2's projects to work in the newest version.EDIT:
