  <p>Hello, everyone.</p>
  
  <p>For a long time now, for C/C++ development, I have been using Notepad++ and the command line for compiling C/C++ programs. Now, I want to start using an IDE, and I have tried out quite a few. Currently, I am thinking of either Eclipse CDT or Netbeans C++, but other suggestions are welcome too. The problem is that I cannot find any recent, unbiased comparisons of both of these softwares. So, I would like to hear opinions on which IDE is better. By "better", I mean in terms of code-completion, configurability, ease of use, speed, and especially debugging capabilities and debugging speed. I really need help on choosing a C/C++ IDE. Thanks!</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  Because I develop on both Windows and Linux, I need an IDE that is compatible with both Windows and Linux, and by default uses GCC by default, so Visual Studio is not an option for me. Thanks!</p>
