    This can be Eclipse, but it could be Visual Studio on Windows or Xcode on Mac, especially given the choice of language. For quite small projects, you can also get away with good editors that support syntax highlighting. Although a complete IDE makes editing, compiling and debugging much easier. My choice is Xcode on Mac, Visual Studio on Windows.
  2. In reply to your specific question, I can say good things about both Xcode and Eclipse. Xcode is the "native" development environment for Mac, and if you intend to do iOS/iPhone development, or Swift development in general, Xcode is going to be a good solution for you. Eclipse, on the other hand, is a cross-platform environment that has been ...

    However as for the question of Eclipse vs. XCode for C++ I think there is no clear winner. Eclipse is not very good at C++, and XCode is just not very good. It is a moot point. The original poster was wrong on one key point - "I know the choice of IDE is a matter of preference". It isn't a matter of preference. There is Xcode and nothing else.

    I don't know if there is also an easy to extend plugin mechanism in XCode like in Eclipse, if so, give me hint, there are some things to be done 🙂 System integration - Eclipse: integration with the rest of the system + XCode: fully integrated Help/Support Especially the included help system is the best I've ever seen since NeXT 🙂
  5. An IDE is never necessary, but whether you should learn it as a beginner depends a lot on the language. Some languages / language environments lend themselves to an IDE, usually for historical reasons, and you'll find working without the "sanctioned" IDE more difficult than not. Objective-C w/ Xcode is one example.

    I have a programming book from Big Nerd Ranch that tells me to download Eclipse, but should I just use Xcode? B. Bear macrumors G3. Jul 23, 2002 8,088 5 Sol III - Terra.

    Registered: 2006-12-15 Posts: 296 Website. Should I learn Eclipse. I'm going off to college next year where I want to do a CS major. Thing is, my college of choice (Colgate University) teaches Java as the core language (as do most other colleges I think). ... So I was wondering, would it be a good idea to actually sit down and learn Eclipse ...
  9. Heck, even Lotus Notes runs on the Eclipse platform since version 8. It's not surprising some developers hate on Eclipse because of this generalization as the IDE isn't tailored to their needs by default - it's up to them to do so. That's something a lot of other IDEs don't expect users to do, so it can feel tedious and surprising.

  1. I learned Eclipse for C++. It is flexible and offers many features. I no longer use it for C++.

    What I found is that CDT feels like an "add on" rather than an intrinsically supported environment. Perhaps because it is an add on. Eclipse is written in and primarily supports Java development.

    It was also rather buggy at the time but that was two years ago. I think today's CDT is probably more refined.

    Lastly, it took a long time to start and some editing operations were rather slow. I was able to find a vi plugin for it, but it wasn't free and wasn't a perfect emulation.

    Today I use a commercial editor that is fast and doesn't feel like it is out of its element. I would encourage you to try Eclipse and see for yourself if it meets your needs.
