Is there any IDE similar to Visual Studio under Linux?

Hi,

I like the GUI of Visual Studil to edit multiple files in Windows. Is there
any IDE that is similar to Visual Studio under Linux? Thanks!

Thank goodness, no. Learn some Emacs instead, and you'll never look back.

No, VIM is the best choice because you don't need 26 fingers and the mutated
hand of a spider-alien to operate it.

Seriously, to the OP: kate is a pretty reasonable syntax-highlighting editor
that has a windows feel - it's part of KDE. If you want to get fancier,
kdevelop is a full blown IDE with integrated editor, debugger and a basic
understanding of several standard "make" systems (qmake, cmake,
autoconf+gnumake).

But Mans has a point - you should attempt to learn a few of the basics in
VIM or Emacs, because on the day that your Xserver dies or you are at the
other end of a show ssh session, you will appreciate it.

Cheers

Not specifically for Linux, but typically rather for general X11/POSIX
systems I'm using kate and kdevelop here, both parts of KDE. There are
others for GNOME or no desktop environment at all, you should rather make a
websearch or try you packagemanager's search function to see what is
available.

Only about a million. Take a look in your Linux distro's package manager for IDEs.

The one I use habitually is Eclipse, with the CDT C and C++ addon, but that's
mostly because I need a cross-platform IDE.

I use emacs, but its not a touch in terms of ease of use and
functionality on Visual Studio or Eclipse - they "just work". To get
emacs up & running as a decent C IDE takes months of effort IMO.

Eclipse may be easy to use for the things it can do (although I
personally find it mostly annoying). Emacs, however, can do lots more
with a only a little effort once you've made the initial learning
investment.

It's annoying and it's so huge/slow, I'd have to buy a new
computer if I wanted to use it.

There are a bunch of others from which to choose as well

kdevelop
anjunta
nedit
slickedit
etc.

You have completion and decent code navigation working reliably? You use
tags or cscope? Do you use cedet at all? ecb? Lets compare
notes. (Note, I dont use eclipse (yet) as it is a bit of a dog. But it
works well like it says on the tin ...)

There are almost zero IDEs like Visual Studio.

None, actually. At least I've yet to come across one in Linux that
will reliably crash the entire OS pretty much every time it's used.

MinGW Studio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW_Developer_Studio is
aiming to look like MSVC 6.0. The last time I tried it it had issues
with the integrated debugging, but it may have improved in the
meantime.

You must have a messed up installation of Windows.
I can honestly say I've never had the VStudio IDE
crash the OS...

....bring it to a crawl, sometimes a dead stop for
10, 15 minutes or so, but never -crash- it...

....of course I do keep a command prompt open and
"pskill devenv", sometimes 3 or 4 times a day.

I never waited that long for it to recover. Besides, none of the
Linux vstudio lookalikes manage that feat either.

I already think about it. Now, I'm using Eclipse in Windows and Linux.
I think it is the best. With this you can use CDT plug-in for C++
projects and works very well.

Eclipse have many types of plug-ins, with these you can access CVS,
SVN repositories, use Together from Borland to draw UML. I'm not sure,
but I believe that you can draw your classes and then make the C++
code, as Visio with Visual Studio Integration.
If you want write C++ code with good user interface, take a look at
www.trolltech.com , there you can download QT framework, with Samples
and more. Try to find the QT Eclipse Integration, with this tool will
be able to use a QTDesigner inside Eclipse, with much others new
features.

It's all. Regards,
André Abrantes.

That statement makes anything else you say highly dubious.

Oh, so you're saying your Linux IDE manages to crash the OS? Remarkable.

What Linux vstudio look alikes?
