I'm not going to be a jerk and post this in the Dev-Cpp forums I subscribe to. Instead, I will be a jerk here.
DEV-C++ SUCKS!!! BADLY!!! In many different languages, and in a cross-platform manner. Even nuns in far-away, third world countries living on banana peels and using a 28.8 dialup connection to read this agree that it SUCKS.
The funniest thing is, the more features and improvements that go IN, the more crap that comes OUT. Whoever maintains this things has no clue how to debug it. And every time I send a bug report, I get some snide comment. "Oh, that's not a bug. It's supposed to do that. Are you sure you don't want to install Linux on your computer, so you can be really frustrated?" I swear, the entire Open Source movement sometimes seems like it was invented as a tease campaign. Where's the innovation? It's in some geek's wasted weekend, coding garbage when he could be getting laid.
Damn. That was mean and bitter. But who cares?
I'm going to write a rival IDE for GCC. And I'm gonna sell it, cheap. Because I will prove that money motivates people. And if nobody ever sends any money, that's a damn good reason to quit supporting it. And then nobody will have a good enough reason to write bitter little rants like this one about my product.
Sure, there are awesome Open Source products out there. I'm paying for one. But most of the junk I've encountered is worth about as much as I paid for it. And everybody wonders why Microsoft isn't too worried about Linux. I don't.
