JetBrains C++ IDE: Status update and Video report

Personally I'm happy with how IntelliJ IDEA looks on my Mac or on my Ubuntu.

It can be sluggish but I've never met an IDE that isn't sluggish and that's worth the price of me not using a text editor such as Emacs.

This "Java UI" that they use give them a competitive advantage - it makes it easier for them to support multiple platforms. I'm happy that I get to use the same IDE on multiple OSes, as I routinely use multiple OSes (e.g. for work I now use OS X, for personal projects I'm using Ubuntu Linux and from time to time I use Windows too).

What other IDE has a comparable feature set, works on Linux, OS X and Windows and does not suck like Eclipse does?

Eclipse does not suck, you just need powerful enough box to run it. I use 32 core/256 GB ram workstation.

Except when it remembers on a full moon to blow your metadata directory or the broken interaction between its worspace builders and external building tools.

It's kind of traumatising to see those kind of hardware requirements for an IDE :)

I think the parent poster was being sarcastic :)

Rich Geldreich, the guy from Valve working on their Linux OpenGL debugger uses Qt Creator and looks really satisfied:

I've been using QtCreator full-time now for 6 months and I think it's awesome. I would buy it in a heartbeat, but it's a free download and it's even open source.

A bit of the background behind my need for a VS alternative: For more than a decade I've been using Visual Studio (since VC5 I think), and various other IDE's from Borland/Watcom/MS before that. [...]

Considering how VS is for games developers the gold standard by which all C++ IDEs are measured, this speaks a lot.

In my opinion, QTCreator is the one to beat at the moment. Its fast, simple and covers most of the IDE features for C++.
