Code::Blocks vs. VS Code

Some intro document that at least explains the general architecture of the main parts, so it's easier to know where to look, and when somebody changes some code, it doesn't break something else (as confirmed by the numerous regressions that pop out (I've mentioned some of the debugging, but there are more I've noticed)).
More comments in the code wouldn't hurt, but that's usually the coder's style, so that's less important.

Argh, I quit this argument. You win. Debugging experience has regressed beyond being usable. Argh. But if you think so, why don't you switch to an old version (both cb, gcc, gdb) which worked better?

I wasn't debating. That's why I didn't reply to any of your quotes of me. You either take the feedback or not.

Yes.

Ah, so you're saying it is regressing, but you're not interested in helping out describe how it has regressed, so we have a chance to fix it?
And which version has a better debugger experience than the latest one?

I tried to report some bugs on SF, but the problem is that even when something gets fixed, something else breaks, hence the regressions I'm talking about. After a while, this trying a new build, rolling back, and then again, report, et cetera.. gets frustrating and I gave up (especially now that the win32 version is not released "nigthly" anymore).
So I decided I may be able to contribute, but I don't have the time to study the entire codebase.
Also, I can't give you examples of the debugging problems I reported in my previous post because I simply don't have any repro code right now with me. I've stopped using CB for months now. As I wrote before, I'm trying out CodeLite at the moment.

I honestly can't remember, but definitely not a recent one. Of course, that version lacked a lot of other fixes and new features.. :(
