I would like an IDE that doesnt make suicide sound good

[Techtronic7]

I cant stand XCode, Code::Blocks, or Eclipse. Are there any IDEs for Mac that dont suck so bad that I hate life? Dev was so easy, you made a project and went. Why cant someone make something like that? Does anyone know anything like that? Please help

Tell me what you can't stand about Xcode.

From what I can tell, specifically this part, "Dev was so easy, you made a project and went. Why cant someone make something like that?" is that its not that any of the IDE's are bad, its just your understanding of how they work, is perhaps not complete or sufficient. Now dont worry, thats normal, it took me a while to get to know Xcode. You dont just jump into a environment and everything works, it just does not happen.

I would be more than happy to spend an hour or two walking your through Xcode, we can do a teamview session if that is to your liking.

ps: I am guessing that Xcode is spitting thousands and thousands of compile time errors at you? That is one of the most common mistakes for new users.

I use QtCreator on mac. Granted, I am mostly using Qt, but I also use it for school assignments and other shit as well. Give it a try?

By this, do you mean the DevC++ IDE, or are you just saying that with a nice IDE devving is easy? ;p

Because if you think DevC++ is a nice IDE, I'm not sure I can help ya. XD

Back when I was a complete noob I used Dev-C++ because it was simpler than visual studio but if I were you I'd just go with XCode and start to get used to it as its probably your best option for mac.

@avansc If you would show me around XCode, that would be great, thanks. Every tutorial I've had helped me with absolutely nothing.

And about Dev-C++, yes, I love the simplicity. I made a new project, attached my API and it worked without struggle. I've using XCode for about 2 months now and no matter what tutorial I use, I get nowhere. I find my self switching to Windows everytime I feel the need to write some code. I find this very annoying because I bought my mac to get away from full time Windows.

Don't cha mean @avansc?

edit:hey avansc, do you think you can continue the XCode tuts?

Dude, just let me know what time you are available for a teamview/skype, and we'll get you up and running no problems.

I do have a few xcode tutorials on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/avansc#p/u

But i think you'll benefit more if you can directly ask me something, and I can show you.

So I downloaded Qt and my computer couldnt read the file. I also have been trying Netbeans, but SDL wont compile. How do I fix that?

Well since I keep offering help, and it seems you keep ignoring me. I'll just make a video how to setup SDL within xcode step by step.

Im not trying to ignore you, I saw the wrong name on offer to help over skype/teamviewer. It would be great if you could do that. Im Zunedude123 on skype, and I could give you my teamviewer ID through there. I also did check out a few of your videos on Youtube, but my browser crashed (apperentlty they dont like for me to have 17 windows open and doing shit) and I didnt go back to it.
