Two questions (Ubuntu|C++ project)

I assume you mean visual studio ide for c++.. if so..

Really it depends on what you're looking for. I use code::blocks so I can have the same ide on both windows and linux. The itellisense( code completion ) seems less adquate than vs2008; however it does have it's great many charms:

1. cross-platform
2. great simple templates to start with
3. code formatter plugin
4. debugger
5. can use valgrind to detect for memory leaks on linux
6. updated nightly builds, but mainly targeted for windows builds.
7. smart indentations
8. Syntax highlighting
9. customable color scheme.. etc
10. can use vs2008 compiler on windows
11. gcc on windows and linux. great to use the same compiler for windows and linux

well there are lots of reasons why I choose code::blocks besides how easy it is to install. they really do work on keeping code::blocks a very useful ide.

There are many more ides. Anjuta for gnome and Kdevelop for kde.
