- When using a good IDE, you will see several errors and warnings more easily:
- The IDE may suggest functions and parameters, showing you the appropriate formats of these:
- In addition, the IDE will already prepare ready-made build scripts and organize your source and header files automatically, so you can start coding immediately. For example, the following build I just did without having to set up a single comma of configuration script or Makefile, was all generated by the IDE:
Anyway, whether or not to use IDE is a matter of personal taste, and I know a lot of people who prefer not to use it and a lot of people who won’t give up using it. It is not the opinion of people against or in favour that will tell you what your experience will be like, because that is something that depends very much on personal taste. However, I would point out that the Ides were designed by very smart people in order to optimize the programming experience, making the programmer more productive, and so it is worth at least trying to decide whether or not you prefer to use an IDE. Also, if you don’t like one particular IDE, another might suit your taste, since there are several different Ides available for C++.
It depends man, I know people who show up at Otepad and are happy, while there are people who don’t live without IDE, go for it, after all, whatever. I particularly use IDE for C#, but for Front-End I use Otepad even.
