"Code-blocks for my software development"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

Code-blocks is a free and open-source IDE that can also be built with source code by ourselves. It has support for various compilers like msvc c++, gnu GCC, fortran, embedded compilers, and many with good debugger. It supports all operating systems. It has wxwidgets GUI inbuilt support and doc creators like docoxygen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

Some versions of code-blocks have bugs and crashes when trying to add plugins. The User Interface is clumsy and does not have a great look. Auto-completion and IntelliSense don't work well sometimes. It sometimes crashes while compiling large source codes. We are not able to choose the latest version of the MSVC c++ compiler Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good IDE for C Programmers"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

It is very compact and easy to use IDE, especially for C programmers. I am using that IDE for C programming, and it is very user-friendly, thanks to its basic GUI. While using an IDE, the programmers need an excellent environment to write the code and compile it. Code::Blocks gives the users flexibility to adjust compilation parameters or the compiler type etc. Besides, it announces the last release or news about the used compiler. That gives rights to users of being updated. On the other hand, it provides a good debug environment by adjusting the coder's own configurations. The users can customize the IDE by adding different plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

I need to say what I don't like in Code::Blocks is the compilation duration and errors. I don't understand why I got an error during the compilation while working on big projects. That could be reasoned by some incompatibility of settings between Code::Blocks and compiler, but it is not good for coders to not understand the main reason for the error.

"Good IDE that needs some improvement"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

The best and the only reason I used CodeBlocks is because it allows the installation of CS50 library which no other application IDE allows. It provides great options to include and make changes to your environment, add custom libraries and make suggestions based on those libraries for the code you're writing. This feature wasn't seen on any other IDEs I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

It has a very basic UI and can be difficult to navigate for beginners. There are loads of options for customizations, but those wouldn't be of much use if the user can't find the option. A proper documentation and more support would be well appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent software for making projects using cpp"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

The best thing about CodeBlocks is that you can create a long project very easily using c++ . It makes the managing of the project very easy. You can see the structure of your project and manage it very correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

Although, It is a good application for making big project but you can't use it for practicing coding. Because, you can not create different files and run them. Because it only allows to have one single main file inside a project and only the main file can be ran automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
