Eclipse IDE vs Code::Blocks: Which is a better fit?

Austin A

We're still using Eclipse as our Monolithic software development tool, coding there has been a blessing, the easiness to set up an entire workstation from 0 is outstanding.

It is memory eater and turns system slow. The absence of debugger for JavaScript is a lack.

I recommend you check it out -- see if it's your style and if so, buy them some coffee -- they really do a great job and I applaud them for being so dedicated over the years.

Can be difficult to learn the nitty gritty details of the software for a beginner.

That said, if you love features, and you love customizing your environment this is def the product you want to roll with. There are SO many integrations that it makes it feel like a no-brainer.

This makes it a bit hard to navigate between all the options. The stability sometimes also has issues.

Great for beginner and easy to learn, has a nice organized structure on the left panel that you can customized with accordingly to whatever project you're doing.

The only thing that I dont like in it is the default white theme. That can be changed and customized I learned a bit latter.

It is a superb IDE which is free, easy, and reliable. This software is a masterpiece and every beginner should start its programming journey from this software.

The style has the same feel as software such as Notepad++ or Delphi 2010. Code suggestion/ completion is really bad, as well as error dialogs.

I am very appreciative of the codeblocks developers for offering such a fantastic platform for me to study and hone my programming abilities.

User interface is very bad, looks old and maybe hard to nevigate.

Abdelrahman A

Front-end developer

A very easy to use IdE with a free access makes it the best choice for c/c++ programmers and provide great features that makes the user experience very smooth.

The software can be buggy at times, an its interface is too outdated for the present times. It requires manual setup of GNU compiler, and the window itself can be confusing for a beginner.

It has a super clean UI and easy to use interface. The IDE also comes with a lot of other features like debugger, editor themes, and keymap configurations.

In all the aesthetic, its seems that something is missing, like is just an Word page, I guess its that simple because its no to scary new people, but I didnt like that.
