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.
