C++ide for mac3/7/2023 I use SublimeText for basic text editing and QtCreator when I'm working with C++. With an IDE much of that complexity is hidden - which is great, until something breaks and you need to understand all the stuff it's hiding to diagnose it. You won't churn code out quite as quickly at first, but you'll get a much better understanding of the tools and process. ![]() Then compile from the command line, build some hand-written make files, maybe pick up some lldb basics. If you're learning C++, though, and aren't doing GUI apps right now, there's a lot to be said for using a (syntax highlighting) editor - I like emacs or sublime text, but anything that'll do basic syntax highlighting is fine. XCode is fairly complex, but if you're planning on doing GUI apps targeting OS X it's well worth learning. ![]() It's not perfect - no IDE is - but other than debugger support (which is, at best, tricky to configure on OS X) it's pretty solid. It uses screen space efficiently, so it's usable on smaller screens. It's a great C++ IDE, even for non-Qt code.
