What IDE should I be using for C in Ubuntu?
C
emacs
cute creature
vim
Why do you need an IDE?
Just use VScode and be done with it.
emacs
Visual Studio Code
This.
Nobody uses an IDE for C. VSCode has more than enough code completion and plugins without a ton of extra bloat from your porgrams constantly compiling themselves and endlessly running gdb and Valgrind in the background.
Also acceptable is vim/emacs in a tmux setup.
Notepad through WINE
(Neo)vim + ctags + gen_tags.vim + fzf.vim
Vim
You can use anything you want.
What build system are you using? That is the important part.
I use kdevelop for large projekts and Kate for smaller projects. I have also used qtcreator and eclipse in the past.
I am mostly writing C++ and cmake though.
I honestly love eclipse cdt
>> running what amounts to an entire DOM + JS engine web browser just to edit text
this. vim + ctags is all you need
emacs
notepad
emacs with extensions or vim with extensions
sudo apt-get install codeblocks
vim + gcc
I just use Atom and compile with gcc
fopbp
vim + ycm
or if you're really looking for a full blown IDE, CLion
