Best IDE software app.?
I personally prefer VC++ 2008 Express. It's just got such a clean interface compared to Dev. I used Dev a long time ago and that interface was dang intimidating. I picked up VC in a day or two.
But if you don't like VC Dev is definitely the next best, and it's very close behind.

Eclipse, is FTW. Especially in java, the C++ version is nice too.
Auto-completion, auto make, auto everything. Most used IDE, for good reason.

Eclipse is mainly for java though. C++ not so much.
However Eclipse has a huge user base and I cannot deny that that says something about it.

C version is relatively new, I think the amount of java programmers that love it so much, and wanted something as powerful in C++ environment brought on that demand, so it's only a matter of time before the C++ community start to see that as the IDE to use IMO. which will in turn see more development of both IDE's.

Eclipse is without a doubt my second favorite C++ IDE. Mostly because of a few features such as refactoring and "find all references" that VC++ still (as of 9.0) doesn't have. Well, it does have find all references, but it's rather lacking compared to Eclipse's.
Eclipse's debugger interface is also the only one I've seen that can hold a candle to VC++'s.

The reason I ask is because Im using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 and its not picking up the "cin" command.
are you using namespace std; or using std::cin; at the top of your class?
try just typing std::cin >> variable;
rather than cin >> variable;
and make sure your using greater than symbols for cin and smaller than for cout.

I personally like code::blocks. i dont like dev c++ becuase it doesnt pause the console window and code::blocks does.

I wish it was made more clear about the C++ environment to beginners. An IDE does not relate with the compiler directly. They are two seperate beings. One simply activates the other in a manner that suits you.
Compiler: I personally use TinyC or GCC / G++. On Windows I use MinGW and occasionally, GCC Cygwin when I'm testing something or the other.
IDE: I really have none. I hate them all although I use C::B and Glade (not really an IDE) the most. I've moved away from Glade since they base all of the GUI on an XML generated file which takes away from GUI startup and takes up instant resources not to mention unneeded effort to assign every widget to a variable by hand via a latteral string containing the widgets name. C::B irritates me the most since it can't rename files. I feel like slapping it across the face sometimes. It also seems cluttered but I do enjoy it's large amount of features and flexibility as well as portability.

Yes
EXPLANATION: I'm a perfectionist. If something doesn't seem right, I can spend hours trying to fix it. There are SO many ways to organize a program, I simply can't stick to one method.
