Then use Visual studio, Eclipse or XCode...
... of which only Eclipse runs on linux.
But yes, I will definately give Eclipse a try, and in my comparison of the two, I think it is deeply relevant how the development is organized and funded. Sounds like you do not find this relevant.
Yes, because even I don't know what would be added in the future, even by me.
Feature additions in C::B are driven by developer's needs. So if I need some feature I'll add it.
Ok, understood.
It confirms to me that the work is driven by relatively few people, whose motivation is their daily work and needs.
This approach for development will obviously have some advantages, but it must be very hard to work together towards major changes.
And how do you decide what CB should NOT do, with that approach?
Anyway, I don't expect an answer from you on this, but I hope you can agree that these questions are relevant for a guy that wants a c++ IDE for linux, but don't consider himself a good enough programmer to be contributing with new features.
