I guess you're talking about qmake.
Well, there's a reason why they decided to move on to cmake.

Vim, make, git ... even on Windows these days.
I tried using VS2019, but I just can't get myself used to shortcuts that no other Windows program uses: shift+ctrl+home doesn't select everything from cursor to top of file, ctrl+left/right doesn't move the cursor by word, shift+arrows don't select correctly, and a whole host of other shortcuts that all Windows programs support.
If anyone knows how to change the brain-damaged shortcuts to match every other Windows program, I'd appreciate it.

Hi, I don't know which VS2019 are you using. Mine works as expected with all the shortcuts you described. And also, you can change every single shortcut in Visual Studio to do exactly whatever you want.

make, git and SublimeText.
I see the value in VS, but honestly it is too bloated and full of bells and whistles to be even remotely useful.
Eclipse is just horrible, it has all the faults of VS plus a gazillion different versions making it next to impossible to Google for a solution.

Qt Creator. It works across platforms and is open source (if your code is open-source). It supports many toolsets. I use it to build an app for Windows, Mac OS and Linux from the very same source code.

Eric Gamma's Visual Studio Code both for Windows and Linux (WSL too). For fast lighting rapid GUI development C++ Builder on Windows.

Another vote for VSCode (until I need assembly language debugging, when I resort to Visual Studio - although WinDbg would probably do the job).
I do cross-platform development, on Windows with WSL. I use CMake and do my builds from the command line. I'd used Visual Studio previously, but had been getting dissatisfied with it - I just prefer VSCode as an editor...

I develop - as hobby - sdr software. The "toolset" I am using is
a gcc/g++ toolchain (mingw for cross compilation)
b. the gdb debugger
c. CMake and qmake as Make generators and Make
d. vi(m) for all editing
e. latex for creating documents
I work under Linux, develop for Linux, cross compile for Windows (using the mingw64 toolchain)
and RPI (but that is Linux of course)
I experimented with VS on Linux: horrible
I experimented with QCreator on Linux: less horrible, but completely useless. I do use a lot of Qt stuff though, and I am willing to use the qt designer to prepare widgets, although the simpler ones are just in coding.
The point is: who is in control, and those fancy IDE's seem to know things better than I do,
they seem to enforce all kinds of decisions and want me to follow their rules.
I'm old enough to know better!!!!
I really do not like that, so I am in full control of the software and its development.
(my current (main) project consists of over 100 files, it supports 6 to 8 different input devices, the project comprises about 50000 lines of code,
so, yes it is toy project since it is hobby, but no it is not toy project when looking at the size and complexity).

There is no choice. Visual Studio is the only option.

VisualStudio, bacause I can add VisualAssistX and it becomes unbeatable on every aspect. If I have to use another compiler either I set VS to use it or I edit the code on VS and build with the OEM IDE.

CLion another excellent IDE from JetBrains. Admittedly I spend more time in WebStorm and GoLand these days, but I remember this being a really decent IDE as well.

I can second the CLion option. It's nice to have something that works so well across Linux, Windows, and Mac.

A model 029 keypunch or a model 33 teletype

I wrote my first program and ran it via a teleType using hand-punched 8-hole paper tape.

I'll have to add myself to the VS bandwagon. I have been using it since v1.0 with the NT beta and it keeps getting better although a few versions were a bit iffy. It's been pretty good since 2015 I think.
The thing is, I haven't anything else even close. I tried Eclipse for some embedded development and I went back to Notepad++ and command-line batch files. It's come to the point that unless it is absolutely required I am not going to even try anything else. I can't see how the learning curve could possibly be worth it because I am very productive with VS.

qtcreator now that i think windows10 is dieing and dieing fast.

VSCode, but only because the only C/C++ I write is for the Arduino and similar microcontroller and Visual Studio doesn't support PlatformIO as far as I am aware.
|
|
|
|
|
For me, it's a toss-up between VSCode and Qt Creator. Have tried many others, like Codelite, and they all came up a little short.
I've been using QT Creator longer, so I lean that way a little more.

For me is Qt Creator, although Visual Studio 2017 is also quite good.
I found that Qt Creator works very well with big projects.
Visual Studio 2017 is also quite good, specially with the option of building remotely.

not sure if everyone sees that or not when they go to the google home page.
I keep thinking its a fly or something, swatting at it with my hand like an idiot. 
evidently, it is to bring attention to this: Our Commitments | Google Sustainability[^]

I saw it. It's annoying.
The first time, I thought it was a bug crawling around on my monitor.

Only the first time?
It gets me every damn time.
