That's me, about seven years ago. Then I tried Qt Creator. Now I'm an evangelist. It just works. It parses all your code in seconds and you get autocomplete and syntax coloring that's very close to perfect. The interface is as clean as it gets. And yes, you can use it without ever touching Qt (the framework) at all.
The only thing is, try to avoid versions > 3.2.2 since they are a bit buggy.
Edit: fixed typo.
- kozukumi 11y agoI want to use QT Creator but I find some things frustrating such as finding out how to change compiler options in a reliable way. Sometimes it is QMAKE_CXXFLAGS or some other option in the .pro file. In every other IDE it is a tick box in project settings. Yes yes I know a tick box sucks but it sure makes things easier to remember how to do rather than yet another cryptic bit of text in a config file, I have enough of that anyway.
- RotsiserMho 11y agoThis can be avoided by using CMake as QtCreator supports it as a project type. CMake isn't exactly a bastion of simplicity however.
- kozukumi 11y agoTo be honest I am just very lazy and would appreciate a simple GUI to make the build and project files. I guess Visual Studio has made me lazier ;)
