As far as C++ IDE's go, I like Code::Blocks. It's a small download compared to Eclipse,which is a good thing since I'm limited to a dial up connection lately, and it works on Windows and Linux which comes in handy for the stuff I work on too. It has also been developed steadily over the past few years, though I would assume not as heavily as Eclipse. You should check it out http://www.codeblocks.org/ Another good place to ask about IDE's (or anything C++ related) would be at http://www.cpplc.net/forum As for using Vim, This is all I have to say. http://xkcd.com/378/ On 4/13/09, tclug-devel-request at mn-linux.org <tclug-devel-request at mn-linux.org> wrote: > Send tclug-devel mailing list submissions to > tclug-devel at mn-linux.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tclug-devel-request at mn-linux.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tclug-devel-owner at mn-linux.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of tclug-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
