Have you heard that the development for Ubuntu linux will be discontinued? There's a video on youtube showing a conference of linux developers declaring the said topic. Also there is a written notice on their official website and facebook page!
I have to say I got it with some rubbish C++ book, and I had already used Visual Studio so I really couldn't take to it. Until Code::Blocks though, I had always believed that Dev C++ was the best you could get without selling your soul to Micro$oft :P
It only takes me like 2 seconds to make an empty project...>_>
Well it seems you are very slightly faster than me, but fair point - it's hardly that much of a pain.
However, it makes a load of extra directories. I guess most of them can be avoided by changing the settings (but having done this, surely it would have taken at least ~10s). Still, I do love VS2010 XD
