Codeblocks is "only" a tool for me to do my work - if I had to read a lot of pages for every tool I need, I wouldn't be able to do all my exercises. I study Mechatronik (Mechanical engineering, electro-technology and computer science ) - it's very heavy. A software has to run after installing - no one who needs a tool likes to configure it in many hours, just to compile a few programs! I like this Code:blocks project and the idea of open-source, but it's not very easy to get a working program in short time!
