Visual Studio 2017 for C++ developers

I first used Visual Studio for C++ in 2007. Although I'm not a C++ developer currently, I remember vividly trying to find an alternative to VS after switching from Windows to Linux. I never found an IDE that came close in comparison.

I can recommend Clion from Jetbrains. I am very happy with it. Although you have to be ready to drink the cmake kool aid. (I am using it on OSX, not Linux. When I edit something on a server I use vim + cmake + ninja build.)

There used to be one called Visual SlickEdit that was a good IDE that ran on Linux. My ex-Microsoft friend, who had recently switched from Windows to Linux, was a big proponent of it.

edit: Looks like it is still around!

I've been pretty happy with Qt Creator. It's faster than CLion anyway.
