Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2
Is Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 a good IDE for C++? I used this software for C, but I want to know if its good for C++. Should I be getting a newer application? Please feel free to suggest your favourite.
I used Dev-C++ for a long time, but after a while, the way it did indenting, etc. was irritating to me (I'm a weirdo, I guess). Also Dev-C++ hasn't been updated for a while now. Some other developers have added onto it with wxDev-C++ (http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/)
I then started using Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/). It's a bit newer than Dev-C++, and they have nightly builds here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,20.0.html
I stopped using Code::Blocks, at least for now, and have started using Visual C++ Express. Some people knock it because it's from Microsoft, but the debugging is very nice. If you use XP or 2000, the compiled binaries from VC have extra dependencies, at least compared to Dev-C++/Code::Blocks, etc, which use MinGW compiler.
