Qt Creator 18 Released (qt.io)

Amazing to see this still maintained. Qt creator was my go-to IDE about 20 years ago. At this time, Visual Code, Eclipse, NetBeans and friends had been incredibly resource demanding where Qt creator felt pretty lightweight yet powerful.

Qt Creator has always been one of the nicer free C++ IDEs, and qmake one of the nicer build systems. Even if you're not doing Qt development at all.

Qt Creator is the only IDE I'll use for C++, and I only wish that it had the incredibly in-depth language support for other languages (I'm a D fan and would love an actually good IDE for it).

For non Qt projects, but CMake (Conan) based, it is good?

QtCreator was a bit like the lightweight version of KDevelop for me. I didn't really needed any of the Qt features, just the C++ editor. And the C++ support was really good.

Anyone else here old enough to have used the similar UIM/X for Motif ?!

Everyone writes about ide, but its great framework, used in past for many GuI projects :) greeat for any gui xD

Great IDE, my second favourite for C++ coding, right after KDevelop

Qt has many good features, but it is not as robust as Visual Studio. It can lock up while debugging. <F2> will take you to the extern in the same module, not the actual definition. Variable expansion during debugging is slow. You can’t display a.b.c, you have to expand all of ‘a’, then all of ‘a.b’
