As the subject says. I am curious, what you guys feel is better for building in. I have tinkered a bit with both and I am using MinGW as my compiler, as I'm not a fan of MSVS.

Just curious is all I appreciate input, good or bad, hope I dont get flamed though for not liking Visual Studio

Dev C++ is outdated. As simple as that.
On the other hand Code::Blocks is still under active stat.

Dude, the Unix guys sometimes also use Code::Blocks ;-)

But anyway, Dev C++ hasn't been active for around 5 years now, so we usually recommed codeblocks which is still in active development. Or the MSVS, which you don't like, when I have projects which will only run on Windows I usually use that one (mainly because of it's debugger).

Dev C++ is, in my opinion, horrifically buggy and terribly in need of active development. Code::Blocks is good, but I use Visual Studio since I'm on windows and I love the debugger. If I intend to release anything, though, I will probably just dump the code files into a folder and compile it using Code::Blocks to avoid licensing issues and annoying unnecessary dependencies that msvc likes to create.

When I'm on Windows, I use MSVS 2008 (I don't like the looks of the newer ones). When I'm on my Linux machine, I use code::blocks.

I feel equally comfortable in both of them. However, I chose vc++ because intellisense seems to work better than code::blocks alternative.

C::B for sure with MinGW! Open source + cross platform FTW!

Eclipse for me , seems like nobody else uses it, but its pretty awesome. Its open source and supports multiple programming languages.

MSVS on Windows, and on Linux I just use nano/pico to edit. (Mainly because a lot of my linux stuff with our code happens over SSH to solve problems.)

Code::Blocks is also *nix compatible, isn't it?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.

I do most of my development work in Visual Studio 2010 because of the amazing Intellisense and debugger integration. For Linux, I use Code::Blocks. C::B has been getting a lot better, but just doesn't compare to Visual Studio's ease of use yet. For me, anyway.

Why not use CodeLite or NetBeans, both are good and work quite well under Windows and Linux

I learnt how to configure the projects in Visual Studio based on how it was done in C::B

I used VC++ 2005, 2008, 2010 and lately switched to code::blocks and I actually feel more comfortable with code::blocks !Lightweight Beast it is!

Visual studio for the intellisense feature, but i've heard that eclipse is good too.
