I loved this thing back when I was using Windows. Brings back good memories to hear about it again.

(good memories of the IDE, not the OS)

Big fan of CLion myself but I think that serves a different niche.

Dev-cpp, mingw, and allegro where my gateway drug back in 2000 or so, nice to hear it’s still around.

Same, when I saw Dev-cpp, my first thought was "bloodshed.net"; I'm glad to see a fork alive and well. This IDE in particular was a stepping stone/turning point in my career.

On Windows it is mostly meh in my opinion as it is hard to compete with the Visual Studio feature wise. Had they ported it to Linux I'd be way more interested. I am not particularly fond of native C++ IDE choices on Linux. Currently using CodeLite for that purpose.

wow, Delphi, that brings back memories. It must be one of the most mature products on the market by now.

the IDE looks awesome btw, I guess the main advantage vs. VS is that it's hackable.

I have to wonder- why are there photoshopped stock pictures featuring the IDE?

yes, same! I remember being a child and thinking it was so bizarre that they called it "bloodshed" dev c++ but i didn't care, i was having the time of my life.

I've probably used 2 dozen IDEs over the entire time I've been writing code. But Dev-cpp will ALWAYS have a special place.
