There are some features in an IDE that are so transformative that you don't know how you lived without them. Integrated help was one. IntelliSense-like functionality was another. VS 6.0's Debug and Continue was absolutely killer. Visual Studio kicked butt for quite a while.

Not bad, given the awful NeXTstep rip-off it all started as. (Or is it that memories of NeXTstep has faded until VS seems okay?) Sure, there are much better EDITORS that VS, but as a complete package for Win32 development nothing seems to come close. There are free Express editions now, but they seem pretty crippled. I am quite enjoying Eclipse under Linux (and derivatives of it on Windows used in some FPGA vendor toolchains). I -really- don't like the lack of integrated MSDN-style help, though. I think it's basically down to those two choices. I will quote myself from this question: Someone already said this before me, but QtCreator is really good for Qt4 development.

Not only it has a really good code completion support. It also knows a little more about the code and what to complete then I thought I needed. For example it knows about slots/signals. This means that connecting slots/signals via code is much easier then before. The code editing is really nice. I remember that when refactoring code, (a few variables starting with underscore) it remembered the cursor position between lines and this made the refactoring much easier.

The code indentation is smart enough to not get in my way (KDevelop was configurable, but QtCreator learns how I code. At least it feels like it does). Then there are the cool key combinations.

Most of the functionality of the IDE can be accessed using shortcuts. The 'control+k' thingie is a nice thing, which some command line users would like, but I am more GUI oriented.

I don't use it. What I really like, is the split window command. Yes, KDevelop3 does it, but not as nice as QtCreator.

My favorite is control+e,3 which I use to display the header and implementations of my classes. Once again, the navigation here is the best I have seen (control+e,o). It also has a nice SCM integration. I usually use SVN, and quite frankly it's not as good as I need: no shortcut to diff the project, no diff to commit the whole project, no option to commit several files. I also don't like the 'total integration of external tools'. I still like the external QtAssistant - control+tab is easier to read large articles. When you define a QString s, and 3 lines bellow you want to read the interface of QString, you put your cursor on 's' and press F1 - the assistant comes as a sidebar with QString's documentation.

A huge advantage. Want to follow a definition? Usb tv tuner mac. F2 to the help.

Changes header/implementation (yes, eclipse does this better.). The debugger is good. It's not as good as VisualStudio but.

It has support for Qt4 internals (you can see the value of QString and QList!). I can continue. But IMHO you will need to give it a second and third try. It really is a good product. Not as flexible as Eclipse (hi ryansstack), but it's a really small, fast and young project.

I stopped developing QDevelop because I really found what I was looking for. Ps: yes, I mean stopped developing QDevelop. I was in the development team. My response is for Qt4 development only. I'm a former SlickEdit fan. SlickEdit used to be rock solid, a programmer's delight, with world-class quick, helpful, friendly support. I bought it out of my own pocket, plus 1 or 2 upgrades.

But then its makers graduated from a mom-&-pop shop to a corporate money machine, and now the product is full of glitzy features nobody needs, it's become slow(er) and buggy(ier) and support has gone down the tubes. Since I work mainly with Java in Eclipse, VSE kind of faded away for me.

You can map solution-tree to Alt+1, partial filename search to alt+2, and properties-window to alt+3. These are the three most used windows. Another great tool that is ofter misunderstood is ctrl+shift+F shortcut for searching file contents.

People dont use because it's so slow, but my advice is - deal with it. Searching the whole solution (or even all files in project folder) is only slow the first time you use it. Consequitive searches are as fast as jump-to-definition-feature.
