I prefer using ideone.com…it provides good syntax highlight+online debugging and executing…hope this helps.

u can use one of the most popular open source IDE eclipse for the same. You can configure it for any operating system (windows, linux…), u can configure it for various compiler(java, c++, c …) at a time

Try Eclipse + Vrapper (vim plugin) or Visual Studio + VsVim. Both are equally good and very mature IDEs which being used by many organizations. In term of debugging, no single IDE can be better than Visual Studio.

For C/CPP: Code::Blocks
For Java: Eclipse
For PHP: Notepad++

Even though I’m not a Microsoft fan, I’ve tried most editors and IDEs out there. While I’m a huge VIM fanboy, for pure debugging of C/C++, Visual Studio beats everything else hands down.

The latest VS Express is superb, support of C++11 etc.

For Java Coders IntellijIdea + CHelper is awesome combination

Depends on Language you prefer.
Java- undoubtedly NetBeans
C/C++ - Dev CPP
Android- Eclipse
Web Designing- Macromedia Dreamweaver or Adobe Dreamweaver

If you’re using windows then i would suggest Visual studio otherwise for linux use -> CodeBlock…
I’m using windows now obviously i would have Visual studio.

darkhire21 · July 8, 2015, 10:29pm

for c or c++ use code blocks and for java net beans .

Ubuntu+gedit+terminal is all time best …

Can’t Compare Visual Studio with any of the IDE’s, but to mention, Vim is the worst editor I have ever used, Icannot just understand what it needs to get prepared for writing a code! Hrrible Interface , like I am using a Windows 95 PC.

I use the Dev-C++ for CPP codes. Great interface, good code completion. Terrific!

I use “Geany” for all coding related stuff, and I love it.(I’m on Ubuntu)
