Hi I am learning C++ and at the very beginning used a Command-line… then I started using Xcode (and since then couldn’t switch back to command line) and was just wondering some specific reasons/situations to use Command-line instead of IDE…
More efficent for large systems –
Try opening a VS solution with a 100 projects and 10,000 files.
Simpler for a lot of tasks, you edit in one window, run make in another, have gdb in a third.
Easier to automate tasks, often easier to work in teams or cross-platform if everyone has gcc and vi (or emacs)
