Comment on Qt Creator 18 Released

Comments

For non Qt projects, but CMake (Conan) based, it is good?

Yes. I use it with wxWidgets and other C++ projects, never touching Qt at all. The performance analysis tools on Linux have been useful to me, and the text editor is lovely to use instead of fuzzy-font-land like Visual Studio Code.

I haven't used it in a few years, but I always found it to be very flexible and useful for non-Qt projects.

I last used it for an embedded project, which are sometimes a pain to set up in an IDE (cross-compiler, sysroot, debug server, etc.), and I was shocked by how easy it was to get going and how smooth it felt compared to most IDEs.

Yes! I use it for all my C and C++ projects. Only very few of them use Qt. CMake integration is seemless.

Honestly the name is doing Qt Creator a bit of a disservice, given how fantastic an IDE for any C++ codebase it is, Qt or not.

Yes - it's good for this use case! It even has built-in support for fetching dependencies declared in project conanfiles.

That's how I always used it. CMake and non-Qt. Very solid IDE.
