What C++ IDE use on windows?

Question

Hi
I'm learning C++ here. Years ago I've learned Visual Basic (before dot net) programming on Visual Studio. I don't know if get a new version of VS for practice C++ or other software.
Thanks

Answer 1

I use Codeblocks. It works pretty well. You can download it for free online.

Answer 2

Some people say, msvc is the best for windows. Because you know, both developed by microsoft.

But other alternative like codeblock usually prebundled with ported gcc compiler, which is many people use outside windows and usually many tutorials based on.

Answer 3

I used Dev++ or Dev C++
Not quite sure.
It's tedious to set different compiler flags though.
