First, let me say that I'm not a unix facist. I started programming on the Windows platform using Visual Studio and loved it very much.
When I started to do more development on Linux, I had asked the same question you just posed to this mailing list. Unfortunately, I had never found an IDE that could replace Visual Studio's debugging facilities (it's just alternatives are not as nice). However, having taken the plunge into VIM a year ago, I now find I use it on both Windows and Linux. The learning curve is much higher but the end-result is that you will become more productive. VIM is highly programmable (Emacs is even more so), and, yes, you can compile programs from within VIM. I must admit, I don't debug from VIM, because running gdb or a gui debugger is more straight forward. If you are developing on Linux, I would recommend not using Anjuta or kDevelop if you really want to understand how things like autotools, make, et cetera, really work. These IDEs will make things easier at the cost of your own personal understanding. Some will disagree here but this is my opinion. On Windows, I find myself in an ackward position. I prefer to edit code from VIM and use Visual Studio for debugging. I wish someone would write better VIM-visual studio integration (hint hint) :) --- On Fri, 1/23/09, Eduardo Garcia <[email protected]> wrote: From: Eduardo Garcia <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [c-prog] Programming for Linux - Which is the best IDE?
