I'm not a C/C++ dev, so forgive my ignorance. Is Visual Studio [Community] not the standard anymore?

I use QtCreator: It's pretty solid and has good and fast code completion.

VSC is really, really great. Meanwhile, the previous free VS's were not as full-featured, none of them run on OSX or Linux, and some Windows users still prefer GCC for various reasons.

#14C++ is back
This is not a new IDE.

Your comment suggests that current VS runs on OSX? I'll have to check that out!

QtCreator on OSX has proven buggy for me in the past. I tried to give it another try recently, and it depended on a version of Xcode that is 2 version numbers ago. I'd have to edit the various installation assertions myself to get it to find and use modern Xcode.

#17C++ is back
I agree, but it has nothing to do with CodeBlocks.

When was it gone?

Visual Studio does not run on anything other than Windows.
However there is an Atom-like code editor called Visual Studio Code that is multi-platform running on Windows, OS X and Linux. I believe VSCode is built on the same platform (Electron?) as Atom although I might be wrong.

On Windows Visual Studio is still very much the default in the context of Windows only developers.
Some people/projects prefer to use MinGW-W64 builds with an IDE such as Code::Blocks, CodeLite, QtCreator, etc.
With VS Community coming out last year it has given more people/projects access to a full Visual Studio environment which is very nice IMHO. I have not seen many FOSS projects switch to using Visual Studio and MSVC (the short name for the Visual C++ Compiler) over MinGW-W64 though. I suspect this is just down to "if it ain't broke" though more than anything.
