Are you on Linux or on a Mac ?

If you are on a Mac, you should definitely give a try to XCode it is, after all, the official Apple IDE. Not even close to Visual Studio, but not as bad (for C++ at least) as many people advertise.

For Linux, Kdevelop seems nice, other Linux C++ IDEs: Eclipse, NetBeans, CLion.

You should also probably try Vim and Emacs at least once, start with their included tutorials.

I always wanted to know that from people with experience in Windows dev (and some on Apple platforms). What are the features that XCode doesn't have for C++ development compared to VS? Genuinely interested. Not familiar with VS
