The first is that the C++ project settings don&#8217;t expose the C++ compiler settings the way Visual Studio does. Instead, you can pass command line options to GCC. Of course you could do that with Visual Studio too, but nobody I know does. Second, it makes a project directory, rather than a project file. This is bad because you can ignore files with unknown extensions, but directories you have to look at because directory names are not standardized. Lastly, it doesn&#8217;t have the concept of solutions with many related and interdependent projects. Because it uses project directories with a fixed name, you can only have one project per directory. The best you can do to emulate a solution is to make a bunch of subdirectories under a common parent directory, have each subdirectory contain a project file, and to just assume people will search for and find the project directories.<\/p>\n<p>Other than this Netbeans is good, doubly so when compared to KDevelop and Eclipse.
