Codeblocks is essentially notepad with a gui for mingw compiler options. It cant be compared with visual studio in terms of development, refactoring, and debugging tools.

That was a bit harsh. It definitely isn't VS, but there is code navigation, auto completion, debugging etc.

Their features page states otherwise: http://www.codeblocks.org/features -- Multiple compilers (Mingw, MSVC, Borland, and more).. Build in debugger, plugin support, etc. I haven't used it, so i'm just assuming their website is accurate

Having used it, I know the debugger works. I didn't get into the more complicated stuff much.
