That might be true. I don't really know. My developers use Eclipse for mixed C++ / python projects linked together through boost::python. They like Eclipse because it supports drag and drop of new C++ DLL's into a python skript environment.

Other than that, it's Dev Studio.

Eclipse has some support for C/C++ also. I use it as a graphical editor sometimes. On almost every Unix/Linux system I know, there is my favourite vi. You know that you are an addict if you hit the ESC key every time you finished one block of code/text (even when writing a document in, say, Word ;-) ).

I find eclipse to be pretty unstable, flaky, and very, very slow. I use Code::Blocks at present, which I mostly like - it doesn't play very nicely with subversion, and the tabbed browsing implementation isn't very good, but it is otherwise pretty tidy.
