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

This is by far the most user friendly compiler for a user such as a student programmer. I never had trouble using it and it was very similar to Java ide which wouldn't be the same for visual studio when I programed in c or c++. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

In the beginning utilizing which gnu gcc compiler was a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The code is colored with multiple colors and so it sometimes seems very confusing as different keywords are colored with different colors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly IDE"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

CodeBlocks is a great command line interface which has helped our team develop great C++ programs for bigger projects and our customers, and researchers. Firstly, the best thing is that it is so easily accessible and free to download. This makes it very easy for new programmers to learn how to make the best use of an IDE.

The GUI interface/FLTK integration is also very good which we have often used to generate sales statistics. It has a great debugger a well, and allows you to insert breakpoints in iffy lines of code. The refactoring features are also really well integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

The biggest thing that I probably dislike about codeblocks is that unlike NetBeans, it does not auto-suggest immediately or as efficiently. This does not let you see the errors in your code while you're writing it. This can also crash a of times especially if you're using bigger programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

I just don't like the GUI. Some most widely used plugins are not available.Its worthy to switch over other editors like vim, sublime if you are from a computer science background.Don't supportMulticore compilation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Programmers workspace"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

The best thing about the code block is shows the error each time the program is compiled and shows the location of error.The user thus can rectify the error without writing the whole code again.It has 6 different category including embedded systems proving the user a complete coding package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

It doesn't allow the program to run with error,not for once even.The user may get confused with lots of categories and may find it complicate to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great IDE for coding"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

It's very fast and easy to install. It is also free. I have been using codeblocks for a very long period of time and I have found that it is one of the best IDEs you can find out there for programming in C/C++. It's easy to work on multiple projects, and another great thing is that it supports FORTRAN. It aids in debugging the program as well and works really well on linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

No features for code auto completion. Also, it is not really helpful for developing big projects on python etc. The output window is shown in a command line form and cannot be captured in a dialog form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Definitely one of the best IDE for C/C++"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

The best feature of CodeBlocks is that it makes managing multiple projects very easy on the same IDE. It is easy to import other files to your project and work on them at the same time. It also auto corrects certain things, such as warning you for insufficient "}" to complete your code. I think it is good for an entry level programmer to work on their C or C++ codes, rather than going through the trouble of working on Turbo C++. Also, the fact that it is free for everyone is a great thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

There is no auto complete feature available for a lot of methods or functions. Although it is not a necessary feature, it definitely would make the job of writing large projects quite easy. The debugging features can definitely be improved as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for code-blocks"
What do you like best about Code::Blocks?

I used code blocks for programming in C and C++. Code-Blocks is an open-source, cross-platform and free C/C++ IDE for Windows, Linux and Mac-OS. It's GNU GCC compiler is really easy and flexible. It's debugger is an awesome tool for beginners to start programming. Moreover, some excellent features are it's light and pretty flexible, smooth going. Overall i would say i am pretty satisfied with code blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Code::Blocks?

Basically, i like most of the things of code-blocks. But there are always some features that you probably think need to be improved. For code-blocks i think they need suggestions while coding like MSVC have. Again displaying proper interfacing with other languages i think needed. It's basically for coding with C and C plus plus, and Fortran but as technology progresses we have lots of new languages and code blocks need support for them as well.
