Hey guys and gals so I have another question (sorry to only be asking questions on here but I'm full of them) if you've seen my other post you know I'm brand new to programming and I'm learning c++ I'm on a Linux os and my question is what is in your opinion the best ide I could use

My 2 cents: Vim for low level coding, Sublime Text for web development

1: no probs, devRant is also 4 asking. 2: on Linux u shouldnt use an ide. First, learn to ise the terminal, its such an powerful tool. Second, ise nano to edit ur code. Third, use g++ to xompile ur code and ddd to debug ur code. If somethings unclear, ask me :) if u wanna 4 e. G. Write Qt, u can use qMake instead of g++

I agree with @linuxer4fun except for nano. I would prefer emacs but that's tastes and colors

@Orionss yup, u can also uye vim, if u think. Google u a few terminal based editors 4 coding

Gnome Builder or CLion

Vim is good. qtcreator is good for c++, you don't need to use Qt to use it. You'll then be able to use the same ide on windows and Linux. Also cmake can used from within the ide.
Best thing, is to try a bunch and see which suits you best.

@james1313 instead of trying to figure out best IDE . Open any editor that you have . Write code and compile using g++ or clang from 'terminal' . Just do it from 'terminal' . Repeat the above steps for few months and then care about IDE

Try CLion from JetBrains

Clion is great!

Why use a text editor if you can have autocompletion, syntax highlighting, visual representation of project and other nice things that help quite a lot if you aren't quite sure what you are doing?
