title: C++ IDE for Linux?
body: <p>I want to expand my programming horizons to Linux. A good, dependable basic toolset is important, and what is more basic than an IDE?</p>
  
  <p>I could find these SO topics:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2756/lightweight-ide-for-linux">Lightweight IDE for linux</a> and</li>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17228/what-tools-do-you-use-to-develop-c-applications-on-linux">What tools do you use to develop
  C++ applications on Linux?</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm not looking for a <em>lightweight</em> IDE. If an IDE is worth the money, then I will pay for it, so it need not be free.</p>
  
  <p>My question, then:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><em>What good, C++ programming IDE is available for Linux?</em></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The minimums are fairly standard: syntax highlighting, code completion (like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntelliSense" rel="nofollow noreferrer">intellisense</a> or its Eclipse counterpart) and integrated debugging (e.g., basic
  breakpoints).</p>
  
  <p>I have searched for it myself, but there are so many that it is almost impossible to separate the good from the bads by hand, especially for someone like me who has little  C++ coding experience in Linux. I know that <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Eclipse supports C++</a>, and I really like that IDE for Java, but is it any good for C++ and is there something better?</p>
  
  <p>The second post actually has some good suggestions, but what I am missing is what exactly makes the sugested IDE so good for the user, what are its (dis)advantages?</p>
  
  <p>Maybe my question should therefore be:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><em>What IDE do you propose (given your experiences), and why?</em></p>
  </blockquote>
