What is in your toolbox (chapter 1: IDEs)?
-
Qt Creator mostly, but sometimes Kate or vim is used (depends on where am I: in console or in file manager).
-
More a tool's container than a box :-)
- Qt Creator for Qt development on the Mac
- MSVC 2005 for Qt on Windows (mainly only for compiling, as development is made on the Mac)
- MSVS 2005 for a special project that requires it on Windows
- MSVS 2008 for another version of that project on Windows
- XCode for the Mac Versions of that project
- Codewarrior for old versions of that project on the Mac (thank the big spaghetti monster that this version is end-of-lifetime!)
- Eclipse for all the Java stuff
- Trying Qt Creator @ Win to replace MSVS
- Qt Creator for some Linux stuff, if needed
- and of course vim for the fast hack :-)
If I had to choose, I would definitely go for Qt Creator for all C/C++ stuff. Eclipse is nice, but bloated and slow (waiting 5 seconds for your character to appear on the screen because that beast is collecting garbage is no fun)

That was my main frustration with eclipse and the reason to ditch it in favor of Qt Creator. And the Microsoft approach (MSVS) never was my cup of tea. -
Additionally, Eclipse still lacks some very basic features like code folding (works only for a method as a whole, not for single blocks like if/for/switch/etc.). The dock windows are always in the way when you need much space and they are missing when you need them (one can get SO accustomed to the ESC-key-pattern of Creator...). Code completion is miserably slow sometimes (waiting some seconds before the UI is responsive again) and some more. And instead of fixing those basic things they bloat it with a bunch of new features. It's simply not my beast :-)
Regarding MSVS - a bit better, but still no ESC key that moves the unneeded dock windows out of the way :-)
XCode ... clutters my screen with uncountable toplevel windows for every source file. Else, not bad.
Codewarrior - I'd better stop writing now :-)

- Qt Creator for C++/Qt [this is my main tool nowdays]
- Netbeans for Java/SWING
Platforms: Mac OS X [main nowdays], Windows, Ubuntu, Debian.

Just vi, qmake and make :)

Give Qt Creator a shot - it has a "fake vi" mode for the editor and you gain the additional goodies like refactoring, inline help, jump to definition/declaration, code completion and the like and just calls qmake and make under the hoods. It's really worth a try!

?

[quote author="Gerolf" date="1294498950"]You can have the shortcuts of vi or emacs inside QtCreator.[/quote]
This is what Volker meant with his last post?
-
and window where you see yours code looks like vi :) it's nice tool :)
-
[quote author="Volker" date="1294513865"]Stavros, "fake vi" mode means the editor has key bindings (navigation, insert, delete, etc.) like the famous vi editor.[/quote]
:)
-
Qt Creator for Qt development and Eclipse for Java (just for university courses since I don't like java at all). Compilers are GCC on both linux and Windows

Similar here - vim, cmake and make (adg gdb naturally).
As for IDEs, MSVS never agreed with my stomach. Borland tools were ok a long time ago, but rather obsolete today.
The only time when I deviate from Vim is when I want to test the new versions of QtCreator, KDevelop or NetBeans (with nbVi plugin), but still couldn't make any of them my main solution.
For me, KDevelop is main contestant to the throne at the moment.
