JV Justine V. Software developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/11/2019 "Use Codelite" 2.5/5 What do you like best about CodeLite? Codelite provide various code completions engines so that developers can get things done fast. The best part is that theres a free trial and an even better part is that when the free trial is over, Codelite is still free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CodeLite? Theres not much i dont like about this software. It is very convenient. Users can review a list of currently-running threads and switch between them using just a few clicks by using the program’s Threads view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CodeLite: Try it! It is free so you have nothing to lose. Many other products like CodeLite are very expensive and not nearly like. My recommendation would be for users to try it. Some features i like using are Clang Based Code Completion Engine, JavaScript Code Completion, PHP Code Completion, Word Completion (based on open editors), Git, Svn plugins, Database Explorer, Valgrind Support and of course spell checker! Overall, Codelite wants to help you personalize so as a developer you are not seeing the same generic stuff, but things that are useful to you! Again try this program! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CodeLite solving and how is that benefiting you? CodeLite users can create and debug applications with the program’s XDebug solution.
