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.
