People keep saying this about Qt Creator. I've used it as my main working IDE for about 3 years now and I strongly disagree. I find it's not even a very good piece of software, let alone the best IDE.
- Find References on a function doesn't differentiate between overloads
- no way to sort or filter warnings by type
- Find results window doesn't horizontally scroll or wrap, it just truncates (on mac)
- mouse hover over a column separator preparing to drag, and the separator pops away as a titlebar takes it's place - this is UX 101 - you don't move the thing you know the user is trying to click!
- can't restrict Find to a sub-project, top level project or nothing.
- DerDangDerDang 9y agoTo balance my above comment a little: QtCreator is great for free, and it’s existence is a huge boon to the community.
- geezerjay 9y agoI would also add the following pet peeves: - Qt Creator doesn't do a good job detecting when a build scripts should be refreshed even when a project is built, which causes compilation/linking problems. - Qt creator doesn't support setting a centralized widget stylesheet to define and update the stylesheet properties of any widget. - it only supports profiling in linux (valgrind) - its refactoring features are relaticely limited - support for static analysis via clang feels like a rush job
