The other day I finally bit the bullet and started learning C++ (I’d worked through a couple C books before). It’s going pretty well, but finding a good IDE has been… interesting.
I started out with Geany, and I like it. It’s simple and works nicely for the basic programming that I’m doing. I don’t know how things are going to go once I try Irrlicht, which is my goal at the moment.
Today I installed another IDE, Netbeans, just because I’d heard a couple people say it was good in forums. Installation went okay from Ubuntu’s Synaptic, but when I started it up and complied with the instructions from their “update” popup, I decided immediately that this wasn’t for me. I’ve complained about long EULAs before, but 137 pages?
Are you kidding me?
Does anyone have any advice on a good Ubuntu IDE? KDevelop, maybe?
