C++ IDE


Question

I'm a java programmer and have now started using C++. I am looking for a C++ IDE. The only one I have found so far is Bloodshed. Is this a good option? Does anyone have any other recommendations? I'm running Vista SP1.

I just started c++ as well and was wondering this. I'm using visual c++ 2008 right now and it's pretty good and free.

Other ones I have heard are decent are codeblocks, dev c++, and turbo borland c++.

from what I've heard for windows visual studio/ visual c++ is the best.

Code::Blocks is your best FREE alternative to Visual C++, but it is in no way better :p

It's just the closest you will get for free.

Borland Builder on the other hand is alright, it has VCL which is apparently better than MFC but the IDE is a hefty install. IIRC you need to download a bunch of microsoft patches and stuff to get it up and running (not including the .NET framework 3.5 & sp1, but if you don't have these they will make you get them as well). A lot more work for no real advantages. The only reason i'd consider going near RAD Studio is because it comes with delphi, for C++ development don't bother.
