Pretty good IDE for C/C++

[Silverhawk]

Hello !
I'm looking for a pretty good development environment that support C/C++ syntax.
any suggestion ?
(I've tried eclipse with cdt plugin, but I didn't manage to install cdt !)

The OS you're using would be helpful...

Not enough input to answer your question.

What do you want out of your IDE? Drag&Drop GUI creation, or just a good "project file" handling? Intellisense autocompletion, or just a configurable syntax highlighting? Fully integrated build environment or makefile creator?

Unless you specify your question (and your OS), you will get recommendations for everything between vim / make and Visual Studio Enterprise.

UltraEdit offers autocompletion for keywords and known function names, that much I know. (But no listing of overloaded parameter prototypes.)

Several shareware progs offer something they call "Intellisense". (Haven't tried them so I can't comment.)

Since "Intellisense" is a trademark of Microsoft (and, AFAIK, patented too), and the feature rather non-trivial, I doubt you'll find much in the way of free tools doing the trick.

(My perception is that the vast majority of OSS developers chickens out when it comes to the tricky parts, like parsing C++.)

That being said, do you know any free Intelisense-alike tools for Linux?

If I'm not mistaken, the version 5 beta of Dev C++ is supposed to have code completion, but I've never used it, so I couldn't say for sure.

I know NetBeans has a passable implementation, but it's not C++.

Ok, I'm sorry, I've forgotten some precisions...
Under Windows, I use Visual Studio .NET 2003. It's really convenient, and I won't change it for the windows platform.
My question was specially for linux...
I've tried KDevelop, but I d'on't like it, I found it too complex, not really intuitive and so on... (dev-c++ is quite good, but it is for windows)
Indeed, a graphical IDE with intellisense and project management would be rather attractive...
Actually, I develop under Kate and I would like to have some opinions on some IDE...
If anybody knows a VS .NET clone under linux, he has to speek !
;D

I use kate under linux.. a text editor with word high-lighting, open multiple files, a nice console at the bottom to build and test and a few buttons, so a really simple interface.

I used to use Context (pretty good for project handling too). Right now I've moved to a Scite (open source thats why).

Ive switched over to JEdit. JEdit runs under java, is absolutly sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Its better/worse in some ways compared to my #1, UltraEdit, but JEdit really rocks.

Can't call it an IDE but I use jove (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs) which is like emacs in most terms but is very lightweight and pretty much functions like DOS edit without a few lobotomies (how can I make a makefile with tabs when it doesn't allow me to store... tabs?). So, it's the simplest text editor I could find and it just works. Don't need anything more fancy strictly speaking, and all attempts at making something better with a GUI or sth have completely failed for me. They either don't allow designing or allow that in such a completely unreasonable matter unlinked to code files (as in, you don't see any code) that I can't consider it worthwhile (rational rose).

Do any of you guys know of a good IDE for DOS?

for dos, all you need is QEdit or TSE (Semware Editor). TSE is QEdit Pro. its all from the same company.
