I had an instant liking for Geany (which came preinstalled on a distro I was using... Crunchbang I think), and I think now I understand why!
My workflow has moved to tmux+vim which gives you a similar visual layout as Geany, but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to play with an editor which was as easy to play around with as Geany!
- megaman22 9y agoThis may be the first time I've ever seen praise for Dev-C++... The only reason I ever used it was because it was free, in a world where Visual C++ was insanely expensive, and trying to get libraries and compiler toolchains setup involved some bloodshed.
- quake 9y agoWhen I was first learning C in engineering school, the profs were writing their lab instructions for the free copy of Visual Studio that we got. This still caused a headache among a number of students, so once myself and another student found Dev-C++, it was a watershed moment for the majority of the class that was up to this point (myself included) rather noobish, and Windows-only.
