    Default Which C IDE?

    This might be a dumb question but I just started learning C and I am looking for a good IDE(where I can learn easier). I know this is not the best language to learn but I can't choose ...

    So can anyone suggest a good one?

    Yeah, I google'd it but I haven't used any of them and I want someone with experience in them to suggest one .

    Thanks in advance!

    I prefer PSPad for windows (gcc to compile) or some mix of nano/vim/kate on *nix

    pretty much every one has suggested _editors_. There is a large difference between an editor and an ide.

    Netbeans is a good ide, and much easier to use than Eclipse imo.

    Yeah, I searched for IDEs(because I wanted a good IDE) and those didn't come up. Now I understand my confusion , thx.
    I know how to google ... but I still don't know which one is good because I haven't used any, that's why I'm asking.

    EDIT: I think netbeans will be fine.

    I highly recommend you get Eclipse CDT (or get regular Eclipse and add on the C plugin). It is definitely the best IDE without stooping to the level of Visual Studio *shudders*

    Also, while it is definitely outdated, I can also suggest you use Dev-C++. I've used it forever, and I still often use it every once in a while.

    I have a little experience with eclipse and it's too, hmm, "much" for me(sorry I can't find a better world) so I will try netbeans first then if it's not good I will try eclipse. I think I will try both in time anyway.

    vim with eclim is good, if you don't use it with python. vim alone is just awesome though.

    FYI, eclim makes vim into an IDE.

    Don't use an IDE for learning.

    First learn how to do everything by hand, then get an IDE to automate it...

    geany is good. You make your own makefile, but you can still hit the "compile" button.
    The jealous temper of mankind, ever more disposed to censure than
    to praise the work of others, has constantly made the pursuit of new
    methods and systems no less perilous than the search after unknown
    lands and seas.

    Yakman, code completion and things like that are beneficial, and thats not automation.

    Albeit, you should know how to read developer documentation
