I know this is a perennial question, but I thought I'd ask again to see if the answer has changed.

I am pissed off with CodeBlocks, since it seems difficult to install the latest version without the possibility of breaking your existing one (10.04). I don't want to go there, since despite its annoying bugs, it lets me work on my project, and I want to continue to do that.

I quite like Bluefish, but the situation there is even worse. An attempt to install 2.2.4 from the repo suggested on their web site offers to install 2.5 beta.

I could revert to Gedit and a makefile, but it has really rudimentary facilities for marking blocks of code, or for duplicating them.

Eclipse is sooo slow - Java I presume. That's reserved for Android development, which I'm off at the moment.

I don't have Visual Studio, so the plug-in for that is out.

Get Visual Studio. Its the best experience atm by far.


Maybe MonoDevelop, but the blurb for that uses terms like ASP.NET, which immediately puts me off.

MonoDevelop is pretty good too. Mono-D is good, but MonoDevelop itself is kinda flaky.


What am I missing?

A copy of visual studio ;)
