Hi All--
I have used Eclipse extensively for Java, and like it a great deal. I'm now
looking for a similar IDE for C++, and have recently learned about CDT.
However, I also read that "Eclipse is mainly a Java development environment"
(from
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os- ecc/?ca=dgr-lnxw
07cdtEclipse), leading me to believe that maybe there's something out there
that's better suited towards C++ programming. I'd really appreciate if
someone could give me an overview of how Eclipse + CDT (in its current
incarnation) stacks up against other popular C++ IDEs. I've read that
SlickEdit is a popular choice, but, at least at first glance, it doesn't
seem to have the nice interface that Eclipse has.
Thanks in advance for your advice,
Jim

IMHO, Eclipse is without a doubt the platform you want to be sticking with!
The CDT is not quite at the same level as the JDT, but it is developing very
quickly with a lot of solid industry backing (including SlickEdit).
I can' t compare to other IDEs since my previous IDE was the most powerfull
IDE I had ever know ... a command line shell and a custom editor. The fact
that I've switched to Eclipse should say something =;-)
