While CodeBlocks may be off to a good start, it's still lacking in some DevC
usefulness, Yesterday i had a 08 octal error in a large array, the compiler 
in DevC++
managed to give me the line, and column the error appeared in, i.e Line 13 - 
39...
CodeBlocks, will only give me the line where the error, is not the 
column....
I find this extra DevC feature, quite handy.

I can't right click on a project or file, and rename it..... (as DevC can)
And even right clicking on project properties, does not work.

In Dev C++ you can hit,  File - New Source File, and start typing
and hit compile and it does...... (no need to create a project)
CodeBlocks, just sits there saying "Nothing to be Done"
It doesn't seem to have any Glut templates, either..

That's just the little stuff, that i found a little crap yesterday,
Overall, Codebocks is a nice start, and offers some nice features.
But i think it will be version 2 or later, before it replaces DevC/C++ for 
me.
As it still seems really immature, with lots of glaring omissions.....

Nice that i halves the size of my Exe and .dll's though......
One to watch, but not going to be using it much just yet...

Cheers,
Scott.
