IDE of the Year
 

What do you develop with?

--jeremy

I could never figure out any IDEs. Guess that makes me kinda stoopid! Always do my development in Kate or another text editor, write makefiles by hand and compile from the command line... not that I ever write anything very complicated...

How about adding Eric to those options. :)

eric3 has been added.

Thanks a lot.

KDevelop rocks

Please add RealBasic 2006 from RealSoft, but its not.


[x] gedit

I don't see "Microsoft Visual Studio" in the list. . .

*ducks*

I voted for KDevelop. Though Kate suits me well.

In my opinion Eclipse is the best IDE.

Quite embarassing. Emacs is there, but not Vim. Shameful.
Take a look at the plugins on Vim.org, maybe you'll notice that some of them are quite good IDE's... even better than some dedicated ones

Vim!

What else is there?

Having used Eclipse almost the whole semester to learn Java, I must say I really like it, so it has my vote.

I vote for Kylix .. but it looks to be abandoned by Borland. As a casual programmer I love Pascal and bought an Apple IIE and not a Pet because I could get UCSD Pascal for the Apple and I could write :

If today in weekend then stayinbed else getupandgotowork ;

Who needs documentation?
:cool:

Eclipse of-cause:-)

I ended up voting for Kylix, but I really wanted to vote for Lazarus. Please add it on the options.

It is a fully RAD IDE, the sucessor of Kylix. Also multiplatform (Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, Windows CE, Mac OS X, ...) and open source.

If KDevelop wins again this year, I'll barf all over my keyboard. Bunches of weenies just vote for it because of the 'K' even though they've never used it.

Eclipse is miles ahead!!!

2005: The year Eclipse became powerful and competitive
 

Well, for me anyway. 2005 was the first year that found Eclipse to provide the functionality I personally needed from an IDE so that I wouldn't have to pay for one any longer.

Cheers to the Eclipse team! (and the PHPEclipse devs as well)

On edit: I'm now in the process of moving all my development from Zend Studio to Eclipse, and loving it!

I'll have to seriously check Lazarus out. I would really like to leverage my many years of Delphi experience without having to play with the abandoned Kylix.

I use zend, it is kind of slow, but very good for php aplications

voting for eclipse
 

voting for eclipse...
made the switch this year from netbeans for java development.

I would vote for lazarus. Please add it to the list

It has made a terrific progress during last year.

Isn't this question more like "What is your favorite programming language?"

I find it hard to compare certain IDEs which I have not ever even used because I don't program in the languages they compile for.

I would say REALBasic. Please add it to the list.

using vi myself but.....
 

Call me crazy, or call me old fashioned, but I'd realy love to see RHIDE ported to linux... but then the first code I ever saw was from the borland compiler that rhide tries to look like... nothing else seemed natural after that..

It's easy..

My perfect IDE would contain direct access to vim as an editor, gdb (ddd in some cases), and man.... wait... does that make a gnu screen session coupled with bash an IDE?:)

Atlanta traffic getting to you jt?

Don't get me wrong, I still use both vi and gdb, but you can't compare them to eclipse, or any good IDE for that matter.

Eclipse gives you realtime syntax and type checking; method browsing; auto code formatters; refactoring method and variable names. It makes coding so much quicker.

Yes.. the Atlanta traffic is getting to me:)

I agree Eclipse is pretty good for Java projects. (Though last time I used it with a large java project it spent most of the day loading or crashing) But since most of my day to day coding is straight C very few of the things that it does actually help me.

I also should have added indent to the list of programs I use all the time... though that only comes into play when somebody that doesn't know how to use a decent editor edits code in my CVS Repository:)

Ahh, I remember now, it explains everyting. You're a Gentoo user... You must love the pain. ;)

Absolutely:) Bring it on!

gvim? that's what I use at home. Of course plain vim in a terminal is great as well

(Imagine this: gvim 6.2 on Windows 3.1. That's how I edited my DOS port of the 'fb' file browser (hexdumper of sorts))

Would be KDevelop if it had good Python autocomplete but for now its Eclipse.

... Kate/Bash? ...

I can't vote in this poll.

I think Eclipse is great. You can add the same plugins on WIN and Linux and carry out your development just in the same fashion.

Hang on, I've already voted on this, but I want to look into IDE's for Linux, but I can't see them on this page again (because I've already voted), could someone list them please? Thanks.

Eclipse
Zend Studio
Komodo
Anjuta
Kdevelop
Emacs
Netbeans
MonoDevelop
Kylix

I use XWPE for school. Too bad it isn't in the list :(
XWPE is a clone of the Borland C++/Pascal, the ones we use at school on Windows, so having the same keyboard shortcuts, menus etc. is kinda handy ;)

Vim is the good old way. But with Java my preference (high) is give to NetBeans. For C/C++ Anjuta was ok for my limits. I found KDevelop little bit KDE/QT oriented. Why havent I seen anything like Bloodshed Dev C++ on Linux (It uses GCC!)?

A second vote for VIM. With plugins setup, it works great for all my development needs. Plus, I can use macros and scripts to customize it to my liking/needs much easier than the other IDEs mentioned.

Where is rxvt+bash+vim+gcc+make? That is all I ever need. Well integrated too.

IDE of the year
 

For an IDE that non programmers can use, the choice has got to be Runtime Revolution. This is a cross platform IDE that creates freely distributable runtimes. Coupled with the the Linux shell, it can be used to create GUI applications in an easy end user scripting method. See my articles on learning basic shell scripting coupled with this wonderful product, and you will become a power user able to turn Linux into your own super productive system.

I guess you did the switch too early. Because NetBeans 5.0 is literary eclipsing Eclipse and all other IDEs. Painless desktop Java, JEE, JME and lots of other stuff out of the box and it's free (both as in free speech and free beer).

Because noone ported it yet, just that. It should be really easy to port DevC++.

Dev C++ was created on Delphi, and Delphi projects can be compiled so Lazarus, so, only some linux ajustments are needed.

gvim and konsole. I've never found an ide that didn't slow me down.

SuSE 10.0, KDE 3.5 came preinstalled with KDevelop, so I used that one. Since I don't know any others, you can guess where my vote went ;-)

IDEs for non-programmers???
 

Say what? That's like recommending a car for non-drivers. You've gotta be kidding me, right?

If you're not a programmer, leave apps development to the pros. IOW, learn to become a programmer. Start slow. And in this case, an IDE is overkill.

Real Programmers don't need no steenking IDE. But if you're gonna force me to choose one from the list, it'd have to be Eclipse. It's probably the least obtrusive of all the choices on how I choose to write, test, and package code.

Sorry for the rant ... but this entire proposition is preposterous.

Can't see jEdit. Ive used KDev, Anjuta, MS Studio, textpad, notepad++ and many others and they either lack important funcionality, like for example notepad++, or simply drive me crazy (Anjuta, KDev, MS studio). jEdit has the stuff I need and doesn't annoy me.

I'll have to say Eclipse. I use it primarily for Java, but used it before with c++ and python. However, today I gave another chance to netbeans 5 and I'm quite impressed. Since I do all my coding in Java, I found it very attractive. Maybe next year I will vote for Netbeans :)

I have been using Eclipse a lot. I have used Netbeans too, but it is not as intuitive as Eclipse.

vim........................................where are you?? :(
