Code::Blocks vs. Visual Studio

[sethjackson]

i think c::b is better than vs2005
for me miss only one thing - can't "auto-hide" project explorer as in vs(can you do that :lol:)

Auto hide project explorer? How does that work? I don't know I don't use VS......

The auto-hide function is actually rather annoying.  Basically, if a window has not
been touched for 'n' seconds, it shrinks itself out-of-sight.

Personally, when I open a window, I want it to *stay* open.  *I* will decide when
I want to hide it.

Cheers,
Ron

Well of course if it got added to C::B, there could always be an option for this. Like the auto-hide message pane option.

OK, it's seems we've started a religious war.  (Is there any other kind?) 

And speaking of religion ... I've been fooling with this "post" editor, and I can't
figure out how to quote a previous poster.  Is there a "reply with quote" buttone
I'm not seeing?

Thanks,
Ron

Up above your post there is a quote button.

Also when you use the post editor scroll down the page, and hit insert quote.

EDIT:

I beat mandrav.  :lol:

There is a "quote" button above each post.
If you 're talking about the "Quick reply" text box at the bottom of the page, if you open it then you can click the "quote" in any message and it will quote it automatically.

Outstanding!  Thanks for the tip; I had my screen colors set so that it was difficult
to see these, but now that I know they are there, it is easy to find.

Something that C::B really sucks at is the Find/Replace dialog. I really wonder why the devs don't want to improve it.

I didn't really see how VS was so powerful with their find/replace, but maybe I didn't use it enough.

And I also don't see what is so bad about the C::B find/replace.  AFAIK, VS doesn't support regex patterns
