I’m looking for some feedback from anyone that has had a chance to spend some time using Troll Tech’s new IDE, Qt Creator. It’s in public beta at this point, so there might not be many using it just yet. But, I think any 3rd party feedback might be useful.
Also, if you do a lot of Qt development, it would also be great to hear about what IDE you do rely on and why you think it is the best option for Qt development.
Qt creator’s aim is to make it as easier to get started with Qt, and together with other strategic steps by Nokia (like LGPLing Qt) is intended to speed up adoption of the toolkit.
Qt Creator does not compete with Eclipse or Visual Studio, though it can replace it in many scenarios. It is a lightweight IDE that on Windows also includes a full development toolchain. It has gathered an active community of developers and testers from day zero. Although the initial focus is on qmake-based projects, the idea is that it will support other tools though its plugin-based architecture.
You can take a look at some videos at the page
One of the most refreshing features is how easy it is to go ‘full screen’ and forget you are using an IDE. Finally bear in mind that it is considered beta and you may run into the occasional segfault. All in all, I see a bright future for Qt creator.
