Talk about alien abductions. I was abducted once and brought to Earth.
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...
