Idea #15039: Is time to an integrated development envoiroment in ubuntu.

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #13596: Prioritise developers for 9.04.
Written by jose.baez.medina the 31 Oct 08 at 02:54. Related project: Anjuta IDE. Status: New
Rationale
Well if you think about it windows has Visual Studio, Mac OS X has Xcode and what we have? (let me guest:idle,the terminal, netbeans, monodevelop,eclipse,anjunta.... and a lot of more things). is time for a real unified and professional development environment for our fully powerfully platform. i think that the default programming language of that environment should be C/C++ , but also Python should be nice to.

We have Emacs now. So, we don't have any bloated IDE. :D:D:D

Are you looking for KDevelop ? http://www.kdevelop.org/

KDevelop4 is still under development, but hell, it's worth Visual Studio IMHO. Version 3 was very focused on KDE/Qt/C++... but version 4 is much broader.

I know the existence of the Kdevelop project but if you think about it, is perfect if you write programs for the kde enviroment and the Eclipse project is not from us (with us i mind the ubuntu comunity); I always wanted a development environment that came by default with ubuntu and would be developed and maintained by this,with full support for gtk and python or C / C + +, but in one place and easy to use.

because you are not "a serious coder", as I am. Serious code is written very slow, so there are no need in IDE and so on.

Well, 'gtk' and 'easy to use' do not go well together actually ;-) GNOME is a patchwork and GTK+ is a mess, which might explain the lack of GDevelop, GTK/GNOME equivalent of KDevelop.

Cypher, try Vala.

I understand the current state of GTK + library, that's why we need to encourage people to Gnome to be rewritten, because Linux is losing a very important public .. which one? .. imagine this: Here in my country (Dominican Republic) many companies are thinking of migrating from Windows to Linux, by the costs of licenses and by the resounding failure of Windows Vista, especially small and medium enterprises. But they face an unstructured environment and unfamiliar, the problem is more acute for developers who come from windows yet they understand that Linux is a better platform but can not find a tool to help them create applications quickly.

I would like to see something similar to Visual Basic. The Python/Glade thing looks nice, but I had trouble installing it the last time I tried. I don't think it has to be exactly like VB, but it would be nice if there was something simple (for those of us who are a little too dull witted for eclipse). The main thing I like about VB is the fact it is so popular; I can find an example of code for almost any task just by typing VB and some keywords on Google.

I think the best and most tightly integrated IDE for Ubuntu is Codeblocks. You should try it, it's really good.

Cypher wrote on the 3 Nov 08 at 07:10
Agreed, Python + Qt is excellent, and much easier thant GTK+.

@Emacs23: why should I learn another language coming from nowhere ? (this is a real question actually, I do not get the point of Vala, and I would like to know what it is designed for...)
