Google search and...

[sethjackson]

Well I was curious so I did a google search with

"C++ IDE"

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=C%2B%2B+IDE&btnG=Google+Search

and lo and behold

Code::Blocks

7th from the top (or 6th depends on how you look at it).

That's nothing, search for "Free C++ IDE" for the 4th, and "cross-platform C++ IDE" for the first.

Actually there's something about google pages.... in the listing, it says: "A cross-platform IDE for C/C++". I don't know where they got that description from. If we can change it to the description in the webpage, i'm sure we can get to #1 in "free C++ IDE".

Just for curiosity, I have also tried a fast search with altavista. The results are not so great as with Google:

• C++ IDE --> 11th position
• free C++ IDE --> 6th position
• cross-platform C++ IDE --> 2nd position

Anway, to be honest, who does not use Google ?

And probably still me, if 6 years ago someone did not let me know about it .

• C++ IDE --> 11th position
• free C++ IDE --> 6th position
• cross-platform C++ IDE --> 2nd position

Google update:

• C++ IDE --> 7th position
• free C++ IDE --> 3th position
• cross-platform C++ IDE --> 1st position!!!!

The first two possibilities are discussible, because dev-cpp (on the first place on both possibilities) has a sub link... I didn't count that sub link

Anyway, C::B is also mentioned in the "Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets" . Cool .
