First time, I need to say I am a C++ Builder and Delphi developer last 10 years, and of course, I though Borland IDE is a best IDE in the world :). But when my friend ask me my opinion about your IDE I was hardly dissapointed. It turned out that my favorite Borland IDE is not the best for C++ as minimum. Take a five stars from me !

I think this program is great and simple to use. Finally Visual Studio IDE clone on Linux. Except there were show-stoppers for me. 1) CodeCompletion and GoToDefinition features were not working across namespaces correctly. This completely killed these must have features. Until this is fixed I cannot use codelite. :( It has to be Eclipse 2) No "Windows" menu on the menu bar. Small deal but it is much faster/easier to navigate through your last ~10 opened files, that the tab groups thing. This is what visual studio users are used to. To really succeed at drawing visual studio lovers it needs this. 3) General flakeyness with its code tagging. Clang had trouble parsing our codebase. And the only error I could get out of codelite was a simple " Expected 'bool', got '}' " style compiler error which gave no filename or linenumber. Impossible to do anything with on an extremely large codebase. And that was only when I went to do some code completion stuff. We need decent error reporting from the tagging so we can see where its breaking. ( on both clang and ctags ) Until these 3 things are fixed, I'll be going back to Eclipse. Although its interface is not as clean or simple, its generally more robust at handling+parsing large Makefile-based codebases. ( most unix systems are makefile based ) Brian

The new version of codelite has fixed a lot of the previous problems which I were encountering. With these new fixes codelite is now performing great. Thanks Eran! Brian ps: If I knew how to remove my previous negative review, I would! :( Anyone know how?
