So, I have been mostly self thaught programmer (C++), as its a big part of my job (not a regular developer). But so far I have been using a simple text editor like Geany to code and I compile stuff either in terminal (linux) or produce my own make file.
I am starting to wonder if I should switch to a full IDE, as I am on linux, I was thinking of trying KDevelop. But I am simply not sure if its worth, do I even need it?
I have never used an IDE, it seems kind of complicated for the start with “projects” and I havent really found any good introductions to how this workflow is supposed to work.
Do you think using and IDE is something everyone should use? Or do you think a text editor with producing your own make files should be enough?
Hm, i do thing witu c/c++ the benefits of using an IDE are not as great as for other languahes like java/python etc etc but still existant.
I wont programm java without my IDE, for c/c++ i mostly just use vim with someplugins for autocompletion. I could be a snowflake tho.
