I have a love-hate relationship with IDEs.  Recently I made the decision to
blow off the traditional IDE altogether and went with a powerful code
editor.  My tool of choice is Atom.  My current project is C based, and I
have been having no issues with it at all.  It allows folder based project
management, and I have a few plugins... one creates a terminal, though I
usually just fire terminator on a second monitor.  One adds the VIM
keyboard binding, one adds GIT, and then I have bindings for each of the
languages I work in (C, C++, Python, Ruby, Node, etc)

I am starting a project at home and called up the Ubuntu Software Loader
and looked for C++ IDEs. The only thing that came up that I recognized and
that actually claimed to deal with C++ was Code::Blocks. But I am very
frustrated with its interface, no tabs on the edit windows, no pull down
menus for file or edit functions, no way I have found so far to 'save as' a
project to keep a working version intact while I work on the next stage.
Even the file save icon on the top ribbon is greyed out which made me worry
for quite awhile if my edits were being saved. And it is very unhelpful in
trying to figure out how to fix programming or syntax errors. So if there
is another IDE that other people like better I would like to give it a
whirl.
