C++ IDE for Linux - Ex094 - 06-05-2013
Yes as the title suggests I'm in search for a suitable IDE for C++ that can run on Linux, Recently I have decided to learn some C++ so I searched the net for the suitable IDE but everyone have their own views, some say it's good and other say it's crap. I can't find a good one to use, Here's a list of IDE's I found:
Code:
Netbeans
Code Blocks (Criticized by people on most sites)
Eclipse
GeanyI want to use NetBeans as it looks very decent and offers good features.
Also I might want to do GUI programming but for that people suggest using Visual Studio while I plan on using Linux. Any help will be appreciated!

Yes go for netbeans. I use netbeans too.

Geany is a good IDE for Linux because it is what is referred to as lightweight.
Eclipse is by far, if I remember correctly, the or one of the largest IDE's installation wise with an excellent array of plugins that are addable to it's default function for Java coding.
Incidentally, Eclipse itself is mostly written in Java.
Hence, it's default purpose being for that of Java.

I'll try both NetBeans and CodeBlock, I've also noticed that NetBeans has some plugin and menu bug issues with specifically Ubuntu 12.04 which is running as my primary OS
also Code Blocks is said to be better for C++ and is stable with Ubuntu 12.04. I'll report my further observations, thank you for the suggestions

Same can be said for NetBeans (also written in and mainly used for Java), except for the plugin support which is better in Eclipse.
But I disagree with the default function and purpose of it being for Java. Depending on the version you download, you will have a default with Java or C++ or other in Eclipse.
Now back to the original question @Ex094: NetBeans is alright. Try it out and see if it suits your needs.
But most developers on Linux probably go the way using vim, gcc and other tools to have the same functionality.

I would go with Eclipse, it's great, and have a tons of plugins.
RE: C++ IDE for Linux - Ex094 - 06-06-2013
@Deque Netbeans has compatibility issue with Ubuntu 12.04 as I said in my previous post, Also you said about using Unix as an IDE, Lots of people use it but don't you think a good IDE can increase your productivity?
Also no one told my any thing about GUI Programming with C++ in Linux, I mean can I make GUI for my programs with NetBeans like in Visual Studio

@Deque:
{Same can be said for NetBeans (also written in and mainly used for Java), except for the plugin support which is better in Eclipse.}
-->>Which is why I directly referred to Eclipse instead of Netbeans.
{But I disagree with the default function and purpose of it being for Java. Depending on the version you download, you will have a default with Java or C++ or other in Eclipse.}
-->>Originally when Eclipse was created/started as a project by IBM Canada, it was solely (infer default) used as a Java-based replacement circa 2001.
Hence, default use and strongest reference defers to Java developement above all else, even to this day.
Java and CVS support is provided as default, with additional third party plugins (version control systems) of an open source and proprietary nature that allows a model of "equal creation" due to Eclipse using a small runtime kernel that all version control systems (plugins) are implemented on top of.
The C++ version you speak of for that matter caters merely to C++ by having that particular version control system implemented solely as a C++ IDE.
This "suite" has to be packaged seperately versus the default Eclipse package normally used from spec.
I'd have mentioned VIM, Bluefish, or even Emacs-IDE myself considering I have all manner of such installed on my own workstation, but chose to follow in line with Ex094's query by keeping it simple.

There's also CodeLight for Linux too... I've only used it once or twice though...
http://codelite.org/
RE: C++ IDE for Linux - Ex094 - 06-06-2013
@ArkPhaze Thanks, Looks like a decent IDE but I'm using Code Blocks currently and I'm pretty happy with it. Don't know why people say it's bad
