Indeed....
Yet I have to say that I really love Eclipse and all its
capabilities and architecture...
For 25 years I have worked only with Visual Studio IDE.
From 4.0 up to 2012 and C++. I couldn't believe there was a
better IDE than Visual Studio or C++ language. Until I
switched job and had to work with Eclipse and Java..! After 20
years with almost the same IDE I struggled a lot and couldn't
find the IDE tools I wanted! It took me a year...Helped by 25
years younger developers than me to patiently bring me to a
point were I was wowed by all the capabilities of Eclipse! I
Learned a lot both at the coding and architecture level. And
once I mastered Eclipse IDE I wouldn't want to go back with VS
(At least for writing code not debugging)! I became a more
proficient coder with Eclipse and really enjoyed the coding
experience with it.
Since Microsoft released Visual 2012 I really hated what
they did with the IDE. Thousand of developers are crying to
Microsoft telling tell how they hate what they did to their
beloved IDE.
So I hope that Eclipse CDT IDE will grow in architecture
and coding stability. Its a great IDE. Thought that I believe
much work is left to do for that they seems to be very close
to bring the CDT to maturity.
Thanks guys for the great CDT plugin.
Keep the good work.
