I'm honestly not sure what it does that QtCreator doesn't (for free!). Especially since I'm not particularly fond of CMake. Congrats, thought. C/C++ could use

Congrats, thought. C/C++ could use more powerful and cross platform IDEs.
- bebna 12y agoHow is the support of C only in QtCreator? I always read C++ on the project page.
- pjmlp 12y agoThankfully thanks to native code resurgence and also Clang's work, it is changing. IBM had a version of Visual Age for C++ that tried to offer Smalltalk like developer experience, but it used lots of memory back then, and it failed to get enough customers. There was also another company selling a similar product, that used to sell Lisp Machine software, but I don't recall the name any longer. C++ Builder is also quite good, but thanks to Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero mismanagement gets ignored outside big enterprise projects. Currently QtCreator refactoring seems to be quite limited still.

Are you thinking of Lucid and their "Energize" environment? If you're interested, Richard Gabriel (founder of Lucid) published a set of essays about the failure of Lucid. You can get them here (linked from the author's site): http://dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf http://dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf The section on Lucid is called "Into the Ground".
