"Lightweight and Efficient IDE with Limited Programming Language Support"

3.5/5

What do you like best about CodeLite?

Drag and drop support, easy to use interface and plugin options are best about CodeLite. Git plug-in, diff plugin, SMTP support and unit testing plugings are key features of the IDE. Also cross-platform support is one of the most important features for an IDE and CodeLite is supporting almost every operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeLite?

CodeLite is only supporting PHP, C, C++ and NodeJS at the moment. Limited programming language support should be improved with popular programming languages like Python, Ruby and Go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CodeLite:

Developer teams using different operating systems might think about CodeLite since it's a cross-platform IDE. Since most of the developers prefer lightweight IDEs, CodeLite is quite "lite" and fast during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeLite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integration with Git is trully a benefit since new programmers are not comfortable working with Git. Using Git with the command line is not easy and learning Git commands take lots of time for programmers. But with the help of CodeLite and its Git plugin programmers can only focus writing code other than spending time to learn Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CodeLite! Awesome and I love it."

5/5

What do you like best about CodeLite?

I like that are versions for Linux and Windows. I also like that it is super light weight. I can do all my C++ development in it, and don't need a heavy duty IDE. It has all the tools I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeLite?

There is nothing that I dislike, the IDE is excellent. It is one of my favorites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CodeLite:

If you need a light weight but complete IDE to write C++ application, CodeLite is the answer. It has everything needed to write small applications to enterprise level. It is the best IDE in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeLite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I started off using CodeLite as an IDE for a C++ college class. Then I ended up using for home projects. I haven't used it at my work because they only allow Visual Studio .NET framework, but I have told my management about it and it is another option than VS2013.
