What IDE do you use for C++ development and what is the best in your opinion?

I'm using eclipse but sometimes I get errors when there shouldn't be errors. For example: I would have errors on eclipse but when i use code::block, everything works fine. I'm thinking of switching to visual studio express or code::block. What do you guys think.

I like VS2015 for their more advanced Intellisense and debugging support. I keep Code::Blocks around to make sure the code is more compliant since VS has some holes in that area.

I use KDevelop. Great code-completion, great plugins and build system support, decent debugging capabilities, and much more.

I like a good multi-window, multi-tab, language-sensitive editor such as nedit and make. I find that an IDE just slows me down.
