Best IDE?

[Abhi589]

I tried Code::Blocks but it doesn't work right. I can't work with seperate files in it, the button to do so doesn't do anything on clicking.

So would love to try a different IDE for C++

Any suggestions? Which is best and simple to use?

PS: I use windows XP so it should be supported

I like Geany because of its simplicity.

@Peter87,

Geany looks nice. What compilers are supported ?

[MrHutch]

Which OS are you using?

It should be possible to use any compiler because you can manually change the command that is used for compilation/building.

Oh yeah forgot to mention, I use XP so it should support that

Yes indeed

VS Community 2015 isn't valid for Win32.
Any older version I can use for C++?
