Guuestgulkan:
is littered with the corpses of (over ambitious) cross platform development tools/IDE's/libraries.. as I've found when searching the web for IDE's.
maybe M$ got it right by just sticking to windows developement rather than say try and make MSVC++
do linux as well.

Belgabor:
I fail to see the point of this post.
Do you mean to say that C::B was victorious over all of them and they committed seppuku in shame?

Why?

The OSS crowd doesn't take discussion or criticism very well. He has a valid point. You gusy get side tracked into 10,000 different things, and never got your RC3 out the door in (about)over a year now!

Note that I am a happy C::B user!  :lol:

~guilio:
I believe trying to develop a cross platform IDE is a virtue. The experience is more educational and makes developers aware of other peoples needs, not just Windows users. I use Code::Blocks on both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux and am eternally greatfull that time was taken to support other operating systems. The fact that the developers are trying to achieve this with Code::Blocks deserves some respect.

The whole point is having a familiar tool available in difference OSes. It expands the community of the project and at the end of the day, the more people involved the higher the quality becomes .For C++ Code::Blocks fits this description and that is why use it.

Regarding RC3, I think the fact that nightlys are supplied is a saving grace. But i would still be nice to see a official release :-)
