Hello,

Depends on what you are writing. For simple C or C++ programs, I like emacs and a Linux command prompt with the gcc or g++ compilers. If I am on my Mac, then XCode is really a cool piece of work. I also have Kdevelop and some other tools installed on my Linux box to do more advanced things there.

I am sure others have their favorites.

Christian

Microsoft Visual C++... great IDE, very easy to use, but costly...
you could always go for Dev-C++, it should work fine for you

The standard edition is only $99US. Hardly costly unless you're a student with no cash. Though Dev-C++ seems to be a favorite among the freebies.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

People on ebay sell used versions of MSVC for even less.

Visual C++ .NET 2003 and later are conforming enough to be among the top rated compilers.

If you're going to post something defensive then I'll say something to deserve it: Poor college students are losers! :rolleyes:

>if you don't work in the labs which are emacs on unix g++...
vi is better. :mrgreen:

Let the flaming begin!
