Chief Operating Officer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/11/2023 "Simplifying Complex Code with Anjuta" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Anjuta? It allows me to edit code by providing a robust code editor with features like auto-completion, code highlighting, and source code control. It also enables me to debug code with its integrated debugger, which makes it easy for me to track down and fix bugs in my code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? Some time it becomes slow when working on large, complex codes; this happened to me when my internet connection was weak, but it runs smoothly on my computer's older hardware, and I am satisfied with using it.

Desarrollador de juegos HTML5 Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/17/2022 "Anjuta reliable and easy to use tool" 4/5 What do you like best about Anjuta? I love Anjuta because of its user-friendly panel interface that can be organized as the user likes, the large number of plugins that can be dynamically enabled or disabled, and the orderly way that files can be kept, all this definitely makes this IDE one of the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? One of the points against Anjuta would be that many times the file may be incomplete and this causes the content to be truncated when copying the file and it has to be downloaded again checking that the process has finished correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anjuta solving and how is that benefiting you? At some point we benefited from the great advantages that Anjuta offered us, such as the freedom to reuse the code, the glade interface design and the two code editors that, although they are equally functional, can be used indistinctly.

File Manager, helpful and accelerated plugins. Pre commit hooks and linters , editor-related fetures among many more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? The project management part of Anjuta can be sometimes overburdening and should ideally be handled seaprately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Anjuta: Super helpful IDE in all respects. Takes the heavy lifting from developers and Architects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Analyst Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/29/2022 "Ease of use yet powerful" 5/5 What do you like best about Anjuta? I have used netbeans eclipse and multiple other IDEs its hard to compare them as all of them have thier pros and cons. Though i would suggest you to make Anjuta your first choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? Not that I have came across and nothing thats missing here you get a bunch of plugins to offer. The slowness is expected and is seen in almost all the IDEs its not basically related some perticular IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anjuta solving and how is that benefiting you? We are doing our regular coding using Anjuta we can see how it has speeded up the process of development by the very less amount that it takes to start and compile and run the code.

HK Harikrishnan K. Software Architect Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/15/2022 "One of the good IDEs available in Linux" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Anjuta? The main attraction is that it is integrated directly to Gnome and not written on top of any other frameworks. So the UI is sleek and smooth and very well compatible with Gnome, unlike let's say Eclipse. Also, it is clutter free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? It doesn't have much of the integrations like Eclipse. I used it mainly for C coding. But it would have been nice if it could include Java, Python and Web language support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anjuta solving and how is that benefiting you? The main benefit is that it is lightweight. Eclipse is heavy and won't be able to start in low-end systems. We used to debug in Raspberrypi for some POC projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Co-Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/26/2021 "The best IDE for linux systems" 4/5 What do you like best about Anjuta? Typically IDEs are resources consuming and bloated pieces of software, but when I started using Anjuta, I was amazed at how light the product felt. It is lightweight, does the job quickly, and is pretty intuitive. Also support for not just a variety of languages like C, C++, Python, Java, Vala, and Javascript, but also pre-made templates for a wide variety of projects like Python-Django projects, Java-applets, and C header files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? The only thing today's programmers can be irritated about is the very old-looking UI of the program. But do not judge this book by its cover. Though it might look a software made for your grandpa, it is extremely powerful and does its job very nicely. Also, I would have loved to see Anjuta on Windows and Mac and not just on Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Anjuta: If you are a Linux user and are a web and application developer Anjuta is the best IDE you could lay your hands on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anjuta solving and how is that benefiting you? I have created Django projects, C apps, and also a few Java applets. I would have used this for Javascript as well if Anjuta had inbuilt support for HTML and CSS. I love the fact that it covers almost all my programming languages and is the go-to editor when I am developing on Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anjuta is an open-source IDE built by GNOME. It has strong support for building GTK+ cross-platform applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? Not actively developed. Check the last release. There are many IDEs which can easily outrun Anjuta in terms of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anjuta solving and how is that benefiting you? It helps in building cross-platform UI applications using GTK+ toolkit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is pretty simple and intuitive with everything easy to find. I have not used all the project templates however I assume that they are a great way to get started. I have mainly used Anjuta for Java projects while I was first starting and studying software programming. I found Anjuta useful then as it was great for quickly building and also pointing out syntax errors and so on. It was also a great way to quickly spin up projects if I wanted to try out an idea or a spike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anjuta? I find it difficult at times to find the correct keyboard shortcut, especially ones that have to do with navigating windows or opening/focusing on the terminal. The shortcuts to navigate files are fine, but I would definitely recommend trying to use the shortcuts as much as possible so having a read through the user guide is a must. It would be great if the ability to point out commonly used shortcuts was added to Anjuta so if you manually clicked on something it could let you know for next time what the best shortcut to perform that action is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Anjuta: I'd recommend trying it out and once you get the hang of the shortcuts it will most likely significantly improve your development speed. If you're using a linux machine, using Anjuta is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anjuta solving and how is that benefiting you? Anjuta is a good IDE for those using linux and its a great lightweight way to get the benefits of an IDE (syntax highlighting, easier to build projects, etc). I've mostly used it for Java projects but would be curious to see how it works with other languages. I used Anjuta when I was first starting out as a programmer and was learning Java at university. At the time, I thought it was a great addition to my workflow as it helped with debugging and building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
