They complained about me. Call it a collective colleague abduction.

Any news on a Windows/cygwin IDE?

just wondering if they brought you back, they must have had a reason, did they complain about anything?

    Well, anyone know an outstanding C/C++ IDE for windows/cygwin?

    As to VS<anything>. I really don't much trust Microsoft. I have
    used both VS Studio and VS Code. The VS Studio compiler, when I
    used it, seemed really bad, and the developers seemed to always
    look at the answer and not the problem. Anecdotally, their
    implementation of a switch statement was not as a goto branch list
    but as a binary search tree. That is a really bad choice. About VS
    Code I am ambivalent.

    Tulach, the very geninious og creator of netbeans went rogue and
    moved to VsCode, he has a little group ("sect" wouldn't be the
    word)  of rogue netbeans developers that are siffoning netbeans
    java code parsing logic for the "make benefit" of VsCode

    this is where they hide https://github.com/apache/netbeans-vscode

    be careful, they could try to abduct you

        Hi Charles,

        You could always try Qt Creator if you're on Linux. Archlinux
        has got
        the best and most recent setup IMHO. You can create "normal"
        C/C++
        applications with Qt Creator also, not only Qt stuff.
        Debugging and
        profiling works well. If you go into Qt, the documentation is
        HUGE, and
        detailed, and it's not always easy to get a good overview,
        with a very
        large example library. Qt Creator is what I use for Linux C/C++
        application development since many years.

        And there's also Microsoft VSCode for Linux (flameproof suit
        on). It's a
        good GUI tool.

        Just my 5 cents...

        Peter
