It's been a very long time. I have not used the newest one, but it was one of the first Windows IDEs I ever used. I switched to Code::Blocks after Dev-Cpp was no longer being worked on. I guess now it is worked on, but I haven't touched it since. It was always much like Code::Blocks and I heard that many that used to work on the original Dev-Cpp worked on Code::Blocks. I definitely seen the similarities.

Probably worth a look. I'd be curious how well it is these days, I just haven't had a reason to check it out again. But I loved it when I used it and hated having to switch to something else. I still have some of my old project files for it laying around somewhere.

I never used Dev-C++, but recently I used Delphi Community Edition and I must say it isn't as good as good old Delphi 6. I find it quite confusing (though less than Visual Studio).

The licensing (free) is a pain in the ass as you must get a new one every year and uninstall+reinstall every time they release a new version (you can't use old versions of the Community Edition, only the newest one, and each version needs a new license). Pretty sad right now that Free Pascal and Lazarus are gaining some popularity (thanks to Brazilian and Russian developers). I'm pretty sure Dev-C++ licensing is the same. Payed licensing is expensive as luxury.
