Hello folks,
What editor are you using for C/C++ development on Linux? I don't really need the sick GUIs some Windows IDEs offer but just VIM is too minimalistic for large projects imo. I just switched to C development on a Linux machine so I was just wondering if somebody has some nice recommendations.
And please don't write something like just use nano with syntax highlighting... that's something I could come up with as well

Sincerely,
chunky

I use nano, but it's CLI only.
If you "need" a GUI, I suggest using Sublime

When I did C/C++ dev I mainly used Dev-C++ (I think it was the Bloodshed version) but if I were to recommend an editor for Linux I would definitely go with Sublime.

I don’t really need a GUI and CLI is fine I just have the concern that it might be too confusing for large projects where you gotta deal with a shitload of files.

Sublime is nice but it's a bit too minimal for me. I haven't explored extensions for it so I don't really know. VS Code provides a nice environment and support for multiple languages and is what I've opted to use.

There's some vim extensions for stuff like that. You might also wanna look at neovim. I really think that you just haven't fully realized the power of vim yet. Also, a note, I've head that classic vi was made for C, whereas vim was designed for C++ editing.

Personally, I use micro, it's a really neat little editor. Emacs also seems nice, especially with the spacemacs config, I'm considering switching to it.

Don't even think about using stuff like Sublime, VS code, Atom, etc. Sam and acme on Plan9 are the best for GUI.

I don't code C/C++ but I think Sublime Text 3 would be best!
