Oh yeah! I had forgotten all about that.

I hate the POS that is Eclipse.

The IDE I'm using is built on Eclipse and even with the lipstick it's still a pig!

I gave up Eclipse long ago. At first I liked it, but it kept morphing until I had to let it go.
For most of my C applications, I use Code Blocks. It has an amazing editor.

I am back messing with VS. Talk about porky. Don't get me started again.
But I don't have choice at this time. Grrrr.

I uninstalled it and re-installed it.
That seems to have tamed it's spooky behavior, a bit.
Previous install problem was probably my choice of options, but Lord knows. There are so many.

I'm using Keil, which is based on Eclipse, and it makes me miss VisualStudio... 6.

Sadly there are no VS plugins that open Keil projects, which contain several key configurations and the list of compiled files for every target. I am still using VS as the main code editor in folder mode, but it has some issues. Still better than Keil, which I use only as compiler and debugger.

I've used Keil and didn't think much of it either.. I'm using STM32CubeIDE for developing ARM projects and I miss VS.

I've been using VS since it was a BETA so I guess it's just what you learned to use.

I find the functionalities too crude (can't set the watch windows at design time, serach for symbols is wonky...), and the UI is terrible even compared to VS6. It's also 2023 so a dark mode should be available everywhere, I don't like two millions suns shot straight into my eyes and lowering the brightness too much make my eye strain to see the letters.

i use blue filter glasses and have the background set to the color of the universe . i never cared for dark mode though it looks fancy . my eyes are comfortable w/ this situation .

That is if you can set the background color, possibly with the color scheme adapting on its own. I usually go with gray modes if availbale rather than a pure black, but nowadays dark mode isn't usually black anyway.

I use dark mode everywhere I can: Gmail, Youtube, my phone, eReaders, VisualStudio, Outlook... My eye fatigue is exceptionally reduced, even using autodarkening lenses with blue light filter and the blue olight filter on the monitor itself.

I never understood how it became so popular. Reckon most people just don't want to put effort into finding better alternatives. Then again, I don't do Java.

I've been sloppy, wnt with 3 starters instead of trying to actually guess the word. Been fast though.
