So you know you are disconcerting and strange.

@Acer fuck hungarian notation. If you have a good IDE and/or well laid out code it should never be needed

@Acer Thats a matter of opinion. The open source visual studio seems to be popular with many programmers even some open-source coders who traditionally hate microsoft.

I personally would pick something like atom over VS which is similar in nature but IMO better. That said these are general IDEs that require plugins to work with a specific language and can sometimes be sketchy in that regard. Usually language specific IDEs, if one even exists, will be better at that (like using IntelliJ when coding in java).

I myself prefer spacemacs as my IDE. It has language integration but it isnt language specific. But being heavily keyboard based (you can still use the mouse) I find it is the best in terms of my personal productivity.

@Acer If you are talking about the closed source visual studios, then no its crap. I havent personally used it in years but everyone I hear from says its still crap. the open source VSC seems to be more liked.

@freemo

Thank you. I am trying to do c++ with win32. I hope I have other options.

@Acer I coded win32 via C++/C wayyyyyy back in the day. Its been a long time. It wasnt a pleasant experience by any means IMO.

That said if you are coding win32 applications specifically using raw C/C++ win32 libraries then the closed source visual studios suite might be a decent choice simply because there arent that many choices specific to that niche that I know of.

But take that witha grain of salt because I havent touched windows specific code in many years now.

@freemo

I didn't know spacemacs. I might try it later.
