I use code block and so far I've not experienced any problems. what advantage does visual studio or eclipse have?

Answer 5

Some people may hate MS but VS is so complete and has the best debugging options I have ever seen. It's expensive too, the free 2015 Community edition has a time limit I think.

Personally I use CLion (on linux) which is not free but I do not pay thanks to my school

Clang compiler is still the best, can be used in most IDEs and all OS. Before using an IDE, use notepad++, it will help you appricate what the IDE offers.
