Discuss IDEs

[milleniumbug]

Which IDEs will go to the awesome list?

[nabijaczleweli]

None of them

I think VS is awesome, but there's a lot of VC hate around here to just count this as a vote.

Eclipse sucks

Lots of people are really happy with an elaborate vim/ST setup. Probably gotta ask them.

[nabijaczleweli]

Neither VIM nor ST3 are IDEs, so they don't count, despite being dope for C++ dev.

@kBoK does VisualClang++ work yet?

nah

[nabijaczleweli]

Until then 👎 for VS

[Morwenn]

Code::Blocks is pretty decent but far from being awesome. I liked Netbean's syntax highlighting but that's pretty much the only thing I liked about it.

[nabijaczleweli]

Each time I've heard about C::B was in negative contexts, so 👎 from me on that.

Vim

[nabijaczleweli]

Vim is not an IDE.

👍 for vim. When you consider the integration of git, autocompletion, build system, docs, it's foolish to say that it's not an IDE.

[nabijaczleweli]

It's a text editor, not an IDE. Vim doesn't have autocompletion (nor many other things) in and of itself.

What's itself? Nobody uses vanilla vim. Nobody uses vanilla eclipse platform either, and then argues that it's not an IDE because it doesn't have the autocompletion plugin if you consider the vanilla version that doesn't have it. IDEs are modular, so a given configuration of vim which does everything an IDE does, is an IDE.

[milleniumbug]

Should we put vim on the awesome list, let's list the plugins we consider awesome together with it.

IOW let the entry be

Vim + plugin1 + plugin2 + plugin3

instead of

Vim

the same way you wouldn't list (for example) Eclipse, only Eclipse CDT.

[Morwenn]

Agreed: if the default plagins are not enough, let's list the plugins required to make some IDE/text editor awesome.
