Any plans to migrate away from Sourceforge for the pre-compiled binaries? Alot of people are becoming uneasy with them as a host given their recent history of malware-wrapped packages. Some adblocking subscription lists even blacklist the domain.

As do some organizations now -- my employer blocks access.

I used Code Blocks when I was first learning C++ for game development about 4 years ago. Solid IDE, not incredibly pretty.

It had some issues with the console_host not dieing on abort? Killing the process was one of the not so funny memory's of my tutor existence at some university courses.

Otherwise solid little IDE though. Works always out of the box. On almost any system you throw at it. And where there is complaints there is at least usage.

uBO blocks access, and I say a silent prayer of thanks each time I accidentally go there. Particularly at work, because my employer doesn't block sf.
