It's not there because it's not an IDE, it's a text editor...

Eclipse has been good to me. I started learning java last year and the integrated javadocs and autocomplete menus really helped, but Eclipse is quite slow so I'm slowing moving to Emacs.

I'm not going to vote in this poll due to a lack of experience with most of those IDE's. But noone has mentioned monodevelop. No surprise as it's not that good, but it deserves some mention as the main IDE for C# on the mono platform.

EDIT- I saw the post about best IDE for nonprogrammers, thats crazy what do you think IDE's are for?

or kate for the quickies. All PHP and Ruby (on Rails) development

The problem with IDE's is that they are really best when you are dealing with a given environment and language. Eclipse is easily the best if you do Java development but isn't half as good for C++ programming. KDevelop wipes the floor for C++/C style programming but really is lacking for other languages.

Overall, I would have to say KDevelop is probably the best IDE in terms of function and feature set, but you never know what new plugins have made Eclipse user-cool as of late.

Actually I wonder if you could get VS 6.0 to run (and compile apps) under Wine...

I vote for Kate as IDE of the year. Oh, wait, Kate isn't an IDE.

Okay, for those who haven't seen NetBeans (www.netbeans.org) 5.0 yet, do take a look!

Emacs rocks on any day. Though of late i'am addicted to net-beans and blackdown for java. Isn't eclipse a memory hog? Even with my 1 GB ram it hogs system like hell.

I post for Eclipse very handy IDE for many languages :-)

Well, I've been wondering which IDE to vote for, as all are pretty importaint to me:
Kdevelop
Kile
Eclipse
eric3

Currently I'm working in Kile, but this year the major programming I did was in Kdevelop, with Eclipse not staying behind a lot. When I used eric3, it crashed occasionally, but I liked it anyway very much as a good python IDE.

So why I voted for Kdevelop and not Eclipse? Because it was the most stable for my platform (FC4) and not getting in my way, with quick CTAGS navigation and I really did most programming in C++ this year. Eclipse has a nice tags navigation too, and I like the quick refactoring pretty a lot, would be great if Kdevelop could refactor too. Perhaps I vote for Eclipse next year.

Sun Java Enterprise Suite, but it's not an option up there...

joe, gdb, make.

who needs an obtuse ui like vi and emacs?

or a tool that forces you to work BACKWARDS, like the gui tools listed in the poll.
finish with graphic user interface, start with underlying code is the way to work.
design the gui to fit the way the app works, not the app to fit the gui.

Brian Knoblauch · 03-01-2006, 10:32 AM

That's true, I've done as much in vi and javac as I have in JES!

I hear ya... Can someone add gedit? hahaha

Umm, I don't remember NetBeans preventing me from writing application logic before GUI. And from my experience programmers who need an IDE to do their work usually don't design the GUI.

IDE is not about GUI, IDE is about speeding up development. I'd like to see how much time will it take you to write some EJBs and then do a bunch of refactorings only with joe.

Jaqui · 03-01-2006, 11:05 AM

dOg,
that would require using a scripting language instead of a programming language.

I don't even install java support on my systems, never mind use java based apps.
so coding in java is not something I worry about, or place any value on.

c, c++ and assembler only thank you.
