You should also not abandon Dev-C++ but continue to use it in parallel with CB, because CB has still lots of bugs. The CB developpers that post here on the forum know so much CB, that they know how not to be bothered by the bugs. But we newcomer have not this knowledge.
Which bugs are bugging you? I can't agree with you that DevC++ doesn't have too many bugs. In C::B the code completion is not perfect, but it's far better that DevC++. I have used DevC++ for a long time and I'm well-aware how much buggy it's code-completion is. You press,
Ctrl+Space in DevC++ and if you are lucky the options will come or otherwise it will give you a Crash-Report.
C::B devs develop C::B and thus they know C::B internals in details. Yes they also know the shortcomings. Another point is if you develop your own software, it's difficult to make it completely bug-free. Because creators often overlook the shortcomings of their creation.
Some big projects i developped since 4 years with Dev-C++, i can't compile or link them with CB. Even if your project compile and link OK with CB, one day you may find a bug or a lack of feature in CB, that blocks further development of this project with CB.
I can't understand whether it's C::B's fault or you used wrong settings. Can you specify your problem in details? Also please specify which feature DevC++ has which C::B doesn't have? May be we can improve it in C::B.
What i realized also is 1) even at the beginning of using Dev-C++ it was easy to solve by myself most of the problem encountered (compile, link, interface use, etc...) 2) after downloading and using CB since nearly one year, i need this forum for solving most of the problems.
This can happen. DevC++ is hard coded for GCC whereas C::B supports a number of different compilers across different OS. So sometime to support everyone C::B devs need to stick to common minimum options. It's very difficult to satisfy each and every compiler in details.
In short, please be a bit specific about the difficulties you are facing. If possible put it in a different thread so that we can give you proper explanation or start improving the shortcomings.
Also please don't use vague terms to compare and show that C::B is not at par with other IDEs. If you love a software it's your choice but that doesn't mean alternatives are not good.
