I tried installing code:blocks, I'm giving it a try.
I always had some issues with the debugger interface with dev-c++ that 
kept backfiring.

Why IDEs don't present a _working_ debugger console by default, oh why???

Oddly enough, I only ever used IDEs on windows.

I'm using normal editors and Makefiles on all the other platforms I ever 
worked on.

I know I could use msys or cygwin, but it always felt so slow I 
ultimately always switched to an IDE to compensate.
