Last standardization made C++ much more attractive, in my opinion.
However, I recognize that highly depends on your needs. For instance, I still love coding in C but I prefer Lua for fast prototyping and whenever higher level features are of great advantage (for the coder).

Man, using Java code for writing C++ is frustrating, both for the developer and the C++ itself. On the lucky side vi is written in C.

Unlike many of the PC and MacIntosh editors, the mouse does not move the cursor within the vi editor screen (or window). You must use the the key commands listed below. On some UNIX platforms, the arrow keys may be used as well; however, since vi was designed with the Qwerty keyboard (containing no arrow keys) in mind, the arrow keys sometimes produce strange effects in vi and should be avoided.
OK, there's the stone ages, and then there's primordial ooze. vi belongs to the latter.

If you don't like the primordial ooze you could use vim.
You don't even need a cross compiler with to C & vi.

I agree Eclipse does really suck, what little I've done on BBB has been using it and C++. I guess that one reason I haven't done a lot with the BBB.
As far as C++ I've been writing code encouraging the old embedded C programmers to convert but I tried that 20 some odd years ago at a place I worked and I met resistance at every turn and eventually gave up.
Given C or C++ I'll take C++ every time.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Do whatever you may desire with C++,AND THIS is the beauty of the language.
Hey C++, I wanna come back to you, but this world is not allowing me to have the comfort, that you give to me.
I literally hate this garbage collection concept, be it Java or C#.

old and clunky? have you looked at C++11? the language continues to evolve and has some nice updates through the latest standard.

I'd suggest you take a look at Code::Blocks. It's my favorite C++ IDE, it's multiplatform and really easy to use.

Unless you're also doing C++ for Android, it looks like the $220 or even $110 versions should do everything you'd need; while being a good bit easier on the wallet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Really? It seems to me he his taking the reigns and yanking them rather hard in an attempt to reshape the company into something (but what?) according to his own vision. What we get fed is, IMHO, only the snowflake on some obscure side of the iceberg. Furthermore, I do not think we are done seeing the changes -- there's a lot more iceberg hidden below the water.
It will be interesting to see where this iceberg goes, and how badly it collides with the Titanic of consumerism.
OK, that was a really painful metaphor. It pained me even to write it.
