The framework, while less regularly-named than Boost, has a great IDE (Qt Creator), and is more intuitive than Win32. It is cross-platform, supporting Windows, OSX, several flavors of Linux/Unix, and many embedded devices. Being open-source is helpful if you are trying to track down difficult bugs, or hack the framework. Still, unlike MSVC, if Qt changed compatibility too much, it could be forked, like old versions of Firefox since it is open-source. MSVC has been exceptional at supporting backwards compatibility. Qt has required what were, in my experience, minor changes in code from time to time. Proprietary compilers can be subject to breaking old code at the whim of one corporation. (After all, their flagship database is written in it.)Ĭ++ (unmanaged=faster, powerful & well supported) under Qt Creator, now that it's LGPL. It appears Oracle is not butchering Java after taking it over. Has only directory as project-style projects. It too has spell-checking underlining, has a good Emmet plugin, comes with a built-in web server (though the docs don't talk much about it), a light-weight version control system, support for other CMS's, and lots of plugins. Netbeans: While written in Java, it runs pretty quick. Lots of other great plugins actively developed. Notepad ++: does wavy red underlines using Hunspell for misspelled words, Emmet for ZenCoding, can do projects where you add the files you want, or directory as project. However, there is a WinAmp plugin wrapper, and there is a VST wrapper for that, so you can do anything you like to process the audio. Actually, the ffdshow audio processing DSP is somewhat mediocre. They are more crash prone than the LAV ones but they have a lot better plugins. The K-Lite Codec people are encouraging movement away from the ffdshow plugins. Supports TONS of formats, both audio and video and even more, if installed with the K-Lite Codec Pack. MPC-HC: No visualizations, and almost no audio DSP. You'll need a commercial version to play video, though - although it can no longer be bought. Still the best, even after five years of neglect, with AOL and Radionomy forcibly shutting it down. You still need WinAmp for a decent Milkdrop 2 on Windows, though. They quit that, and it plays a lot of formats and converts file formats. Ah, VLC player used to force you to load art for everything that played, compromizing privacy.
