IDE Quest
There are a lot of people looking for a VC++ IDE for platforms other than Microsoft. I've gotten another one today for GTK/GNOME, and while it looks OK, I don't quite understand the operation well enough, and there's not a lot that it can do for me that I can't do in the tools I already have. Let's face it... gvim, make, and ddd are about all you need to edit, build and debug applications. Sure, when you have a GUI, it's nice to have a GUI designer, but that's what Glade is all about, and I've got that too. I guess I've to the point that fancy tools don't make a lot of difference to me - I've learned how to cope without them. And for that, I'm thankful. While I like a well done IDE, a bad one is a pain to slug through and doesn't help the development process one bit.
While I'll use a good IDE when I'm offered one, I find that Unix with gvim, make and ddd/gdb are all I need to do even the most serious development. Anything more is nice, if it works, but this IDE today was clearly not in the working camp. I'll keep it for now, and maybe play with it more. Who knows, maybe it's time for me to get involved with this Open Source project and fix some of the problems...
