Proper C++ IDE for linux would be awesome!



KDevelop and Qt Creator are right now both adding libclang support for autocompletion (and hopefully more of the code model) and both became pretty good in the past. I suggest looking into them, especially as soon as libclang is in.


It's not like KDevelop doesn't have very fully featured auto-completion support right now :).

Its existing C++ smarts are extremely impressive already; the developers are mostly considering libclang to get out of having to maintain their own C++ implementation as time goes on and the language gains more features.


Qt creator is good, at least with < 100KLOC projects, probably with ones larger as well.


What's wrong with Emacs?


Whats wrong with using a magnetic needle and steady hand?


What's wrong with using butterflies?


Injectors > butterfly valves


It doesn't have the 'I' in C++ IDE.

Before anyone feels the need to praise Emacs here: It's been my primary C++ development environment for nearly 15 years. It does it alright, but it's not integrated in the way an IDE is.


qt-creator isn't bad at all.
