Poor devshed ;)
I'm surprised to only see one other Eclipse user, I'm definitely not surprised by the VS users :lol:
I've been having some minor issues with Eclipse with it liking to freeze up after I minimize it for a while, but nothing else here interests me. I don't like Code::Blocks interface and I usually use VIM a lot, but I can't use it for bigger projects, I usually just use it for whipping up smaller things. I used to use Xcode 3.2 for C++, but the syntax highlighting was absolute shit for C++ and it would never find the appropriate methods and what not with classes.

So I guess Eclipse is good enough for me. :)

I don't really like the list honestly, because I can only vote for one. I chose VS2010 because I use it most often, but I also Notepad++ and Vim regularly for various other things such as web development.

Yea quite frankly I use Notepad, Eclipse and Photoshop to develop just as often as VisualC++, and you're thinking "Uhh photoshop isn't a coding IDE" I use it to create my websites and layout designs, then just cut out features. So I consider Notepad and Photoshop together to be a great IDE for me xD. I use eclipse for developing a server administration program for my tablet. It sorta works now.

Man, you guys are missing out :)

Someone once said EMACS is more like an OS than a Text editor... I think thats saying a bit much a bout OS's.

I use VS2010 for c/c++, Notepad++ for web development and Eclipse at the moment for Java. I've just started a CS degree so I have to (re)learn Java but I'm also doing a fair bit of c/c++ on the side. My personal favourite is Visual Studio.

I suppose if I was to go professional I would invest in a professional version anyways.
Where did you see this? Express can and has been used for commercial projects.
Are you kidding me?? All this time using Code::Blocks because I thought Express didn't allow you use the executables for comercial purposes...
Excuse me, seems like I have to visit the Microsoft Servers...

PD: Eclipse FTW!! The only reason I won't use it is because I had a lot of problems getting CDT to work... but for Java affairs it's my best card.

But I love 2008 :( (For C++, C#, XNA )
Although for Java Eclipse FTW (not Java XD).

That sounds like spyware.. you should be careful installing anything called "Visual Studio 2012".
