"C and C++ is easy with Code Blocks"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

Easy and fast interface for new user and best IDE for people who are learning c and c++, this IDE will make there work easier. Best part is its different color for different element helps the user a lot to understand code and get comfortable with coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

There is nothing to dislike about code block, but its theme is too old-fashioned which should be changed and give users an option to select their templates according to their need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Code::Blocks review"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

For C and C++ programming, I used blocks. Code-Blocks are open source, cross-platform and C /C++free of charge for Windows, Linux, and Mac-OS. The GNU GCC compiler is really fast and scalable. This debugger is a great tool for beginning with programming. It is also light and rather flexible, easy to travel with some excellent characteristics. I would say I'm generally pretty pleased with code blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

I like most of the computer blocks things in theory. But, certain things always have to be changed, you suppose. I guess you need some ideas for code blocks when coding such as MSVC. Again, I think it is necessary to demonstrate accurate interfacing with other languages. It's primarily for C & C plus and Fortran coding, however we have a lot of new language as technology advances Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great software"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

Code::Blocks is able to run in many different computer languages. This IDE is lightweight, and because of that, you can use it on any kind of computer, even if it's performance is not that great. It is also good to mention that it is open-source and free. Therefore, anyone can download it directly from internet. A great factor is also that this IDE is executable on Linux and Windows. It is updated almost every week, which is nice, because of that small mistakes get fixed fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

It is not custumizable at all. Themes are hard to switch. I also don't like the fact that this IDE is not avilable on MAC OS. It also doesn't have dark theme wich is unacceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple IDE"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

Code::Blocks supports many programming languages. This IDE is lightweight. Because It is very to use with any kind of PC without worrying about the performances and hardware of that PC. And it is open-source and free. Therefore, we can download it easily from the internet. And another thing is, we can use it with any Operating System such as Windows, Linux etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

Code::Blocks does not provides immediate suggestions when I coding. So, the errors of the code are hard to find and solve. Therefore, when working on a huge project, much time is taken to complete the project. Because for handling the errors of the code takes much time and money also.

"Code::Blocks a great starter point for someone trying out programming in C/C++"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

Code::Blocks is a simple IDE for working with multiple languages such as C or C++ etc. It's completly free and open source. It will also work on almost all computers because of it's lite requirements. You can easily download it from their website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

The fact that you have to install a certain version with a GNU GCC compiler or else the program just won't work. There's also some little things the compiler will skip over but if you are starting out with programming that shouldn't be a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Codeblocks is perfect for c++ development"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

I primarily use codeblocks for c++ development. The plugin support is very good. Since it is an open source tool, we can add several features into it like different font styles, dark mode etc. The workspace is amazing. There are a lot of options available at top to make life simple. Error tracing, syntax highlighting etc are some of the feature i like about codeblocks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

Codeblocks should had to have inbuilt dark mode, which i have to tweek externally to achieve. Also at times it feels like codeblocks is running slow. Otherwise all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
