Hi, I'm currently using the Eclipse IDE for developing my C++ applications over CS. Eclipse is free and relies on the java machine, which is multiplatform. Configuring the IDE for working with C++ includes installing the CDT plugin, which is fully explained in the included tutorial. Then we can compile/debug our apps using makefiles (or whatever we want - Eclipse if fully customizable) and GNU's gcc and gdb, which are fully integrated within the IDE.
IMHO the programming environment has plenty of built-in features and is really comfortable to work with. It supports CVS and SVN version control, Doxygen, and maybe other useful tools, through external plugins. The other hand is that Eclipse is actually a 'heavy' application, and I suppose one need at least 256Mb RAM for trying it out. Also, I believe that for using it you first need to compile CS+CEL using jam/gcc. Do other people believe it is worth using Eclipse+CDT for working with CS? Is it of anyone's interest to write a "How to build CS apps using Eclipse IDE and gcc"?
