cscope
A while back when Sublime Text 2 was in beta, I was fascinated by all the pretty colors and smooth transitions (and the python scripting of course) so I figured that I’d give the cool new kid on the block a chance. At the time there were very few plugins for C++, so naturally there was none for Cscope (there was one for Ctags, but it wasn’t particularly useful at that point).
People at my office currently use Source Insight (sorry, can’t be bothered to put a link, just look it up in your favorite search engine) to navigate and edit our codebase which is comprised of bazillion lines of code spread across a million files. Recently, upper management heard about this wonderful tool called Eclipse (again, just search for it) that some people use and which just happens to be FREE! Also, we use QNX, and Momentics (which is a modified version of Eclipse) is used for live-debugging of systems runinng QNX, so it made sense to them that their engineers use Eclipse.
I’ve been checking out Sublime Text 2 for a week or so. Heard about it for the first time in a thread on reddit talking about the release of Textmate 2. It’s coming across as a pretty good editor so far, with a vi-emulation mode, per-pixel antialiased characters, and plugins written in python. The thing is, I’ve taken to hating tools that I can’t customize myself, which is why I’ve been looking for an alternative to vim.
