CLion is IMO by far the best option out there, short of going the editor-as-ide road (vim emacs etc).

QtCreator is good, but only better feature wise for qt/qmake projects.

VSCode is difficult to setup, the billions of plug-ins all lack something. I remember struggling to get remote debugging to work properly, I think because I couldn’t override the default gdb flags to use local symbols (downloading 10gb of debug symbols every run, thanks but no thanks). Amongst other things I can’t recall. It’s probably a decent IDE for JS or hobby projects but I cannot recommend this for a professional environment.

I’m not gonna bother discussing VS.

What else is still around and actively developed? Codeblocks? Netbeans?

How is this related to quiet quitting?

Are yours just the word enter?

Depends heavily on the country. MacDonald’s in France is quite good IMO, in Germany, it’s absolutely nasty.

Your understanding of communist ideas are on a par on your spelling of it.

But no one keeps a 10 year Linux install when upgrading is a trivial command. That’s the whole point.

Also, this is advice you’re already being given for free, no one here cares if you stay on Windows or not. No one is going to help you more than that.

If German car manufacturers had spent a third of what they spend buying politicians into EV research Tesla would never even have existed.

I’m personally torn between a crashing economy and the pleasure of seeing VW/BMW fail. Those cunts slap tariffs on Chinese brands due to subsidies, let us count how much they receive themselves. Crappy company, crappy products.

Is the second point supposed to be a negative rather than an implementation detail?

Anyway, vscode would probably work for you. Or try clion. Like VS, but with decent cmake support, clang integration, better auto complete, simpler tool chain management, faster index, no daily crash/hanging, better git/lab integration, cross platform support… Actually never mind, there is indeed nothing like VS IDE wise. Whatever that means

This kind of article really gives a “never meet your heroes vibe”.

At least for the brain-dead C++ push. The language is unfortunately not going away with all the millions of crappy legacy code out there, but please let the kids move on with the times.

90% of C++ knowledge is language specific UB crap that has nothing to do with software development anyway. Pushing the language in 2025 makes you look like a Luddite. Any combination C/Rust + Python/C# + OCaml/Haskell ought to teach you a bit of everything, without having to learn the difference between auto and decltype(auto), a billion initialisation options, a billion value-types, and whatever crap is going to generate 100 lines of undecipherable template errors

You’re gonna need a bettet source than that, because this article and your comment say very different things. Why do people upvote comments like this one?
