Hi Martin, Multiple IDEs work very well with Deal.II. As long as your IDE has good CMAKE support, compiling deal.II with it is a joke. Some IDEs which me and my colleagues have found work very well in the present case: - Jetbrains CLION (this one is not free, but for a reason I don't understand it's by far the one my students prefer to use. It is super nice though with very good Cmake integration) - QTCreator (which is free and has amazing cmake integration. It is not difficult to set-up)
And then you could use a text editor with IDE-like capacities like VSCode which, especially with the newer version of cmake extensions, works amazingly well. As long as your deal.II environment variable is set-up correctly, I have found that you can naviguate through your own code and the deal.II library in mere seconds. It is truly easy to use once set-up. I feel that's the challenge with these tools. Once set-up, they are amazing and they improve your workflow a lot (e.g. using VSCode on your machine to code something in a WSL or a virtual machine is an amazingly productive way of working under Windows), but they are difficult to set-up :) Good luck!
