People tell me that intellisense is the #1 feature.
The debugger is the #1 feature I'd miss from my day job if I didn't use
Visual Studio. Feature wise, I'm sure gdb has most if not all VS has,
but in VS everything is just there in front of you, easily usable (you
don't need to consult the manual, or remember archaic commands). Using
gdb vs. Visual Studio feels like trying to do web browsing via the
command line.
Agreed 100% - totally forgot about integrated debugging it's probably my
#1 feature.
Intellisense is a definite must, and proper intellisense, i.e. actually
shows me what members a variable has, and not just some crappy lookup in
the current file for potential members. Needs to work with templates,
macros etc. as well.
Meh, I could go either way on this, provided I have..
"Go to definition" and "Find all references" are must haves as well.
Again, they need to work properly, not just some half-assed grep script
that throws up lots of false positives. Again, needs to work with
templates, macros, etc.
These are essential, my #2/3 features.
