Dark clouds are gathering around Mt. Doom and there are many other signs that it will soon be the time when I will once again sneak into the forge where the Dark Lord once... blah, blah, blah
In short: Time to write interesting code again. But this time, after almost 30 years, I will not rely on any Orc henchmen. That means: NO MICKEYSOFT!
So what will it be?
Database: Postgre SQL, whatever version we have now, plus some fitting management tool.
Compiler: Clang/LLVM or GCC
Library for webservices: Apache Axis2/C, perhaps in combination with the Apache webserver
Library for webservice clients: ???
Library for graphics/3D: probably Unity
Library for the UI: Praetor 5 (that would be a C++ port of my own Praetor 4 (.net))
Nice to have: C++ Library for reflection and XML serialization/deserialization. Both would be useful for my UI.
Any suggestions?

So good that you have to pay me to use it.

Don't let irrational prejudices blind you to quality: VS and Excel are truly excellent software, and ignoring them because "you don't like mickeysoft" is like ignoring beer and bread because "you don't like yeast".

I don't. 'Lesser' IDEs are faster, more responsive and generally don't do their best to annoy me. Less sometimes can be more. Speaking of annoying, they now have much more to offer as a bonus. How about the highly important update and license terror? At least every six months my VS license here at work 'goes stale' and nothing works anymore. The website to reactivate the license is as buggy as ever, refusing to take my work mail address and often enough drops dead with an exception if I try anyway. So, as sure as taxes, I am going to have to make a new throwaway mail address like ForMickeysoftSixthTime@elcheapo.com and a new Mickeysoft account with that address before I can finally get on with it.
Thanks, but no thanks. The only thing that has gone stale is between someone's ears at Mickeysoft.

well, gotta say vscode 'aint bad.
yes it's microsoft but it's really free [for everyone incl commercial use]
works well on linucs
for sure it's not visual studio, it's not an IDE (but starting to go that way)
there are things about it I don't like,
but I'll admit having been tainted by vstud it's got some of that familiar & comfortable feel.
there are alternatives, some far more comprehensive as full-on project IDE's
but I find there's variously more to dislike about those others
and yes including because these others are even less like vstud, (that tainted effect again)
summary: [mentioned this before]
I won't say vscode is the best,
but it's [in my finding] the least worst / most comfortable coming from vstudio

ESJ: Extremely Simple JSON for C++[^]
ok, ok...
a.) It is Json not Xml
b.) It is extremely Simple and therefore also extremely restricted
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Do you really think I'm going to use JSON as markup for the UI?

A week after John bought a bull, he complained to his friend "All that bull does is eat grass. Won't even look at a cow". "Take him to the vet" his friend suggested. The next week, John is much happier. "The vet gave him some pills, and the bull serviced all of my cows!" he told his pal. "Then he broke through the fence and bred with all my neighbour's cows! He's like a machine!" "What kind of pills were they?" asked the friend. "I don't know, but they've got a peppermint taste"
