Which is better? Qt Creator or Visual Studio IDE [closed]

Tags:

I am currently using Qt Creator 1.3 for my Qt applications. I know it uses jom for make step which is better when we have multi-core processors. But besides that what are all the advantages of using both the IDEs? Dis advantages as well? I am using the CL compiler though for compiling my applications. Are there any other specific advantages and disadvantages of these IDEs?

Is Qt Creator better than Visual Studio?

In the end it comes down to preferences if you want to use Qt Creator or Visual Studio for development. It is easy to create a VS project file from Qt project files using qmake. I prefer using Qt Creator because I can navigate a lot faster. My colleague, however, uses Visual Studio.

Is Visual Studio the best IDE?

Visual Studio best IDE on the market with few limits. I like how it has a variety of plugins for almost anything. One of my favorite plugins is the remote desktop so I can edit code on servers without having to vim all the time and edit a great chunk of code at a time.

Is Qt Creator an IDE?

Why is Qt not popular?

The reason Qt isn't more popular in general is simply a steep learning curve. Historically, software engineers aren't known for their patience -- probably because their users aren't either -- and rarely have time to invest in learning an entire platform.

I am using QtCreator for development of my Qt applications because I it better fits the Qt classes as such. However I use Visual Studio for Debugging those projects.

Qt-Creator:

  • better Qt object support (help, navigation, etc.)
  • better GUI editor
  • some nice features like mouse navigation
  • really fast IDE
  • poor debugging (at least I don't know how to efficiently use it here) compared to VS

Visual Studio (+Visual Assist):

  • great debugger
  • Visual Assist
  • easier project file configuration and customization (qmake is way too limited in some areas)
  • Visual Studio is my choice for C++ development (I'm used to it)
  • Qt integration is not that good (IMHO)
