So someone just dropped off their Macbook to me and they want an IDE for C++. They're looking for something like VS but they don't have an Apple ID for some reason or another (or don't want to share it or something, it's really weird). So I need beginner-friendly IDE suggestions for C++ (something that doesn't require Xcode I guess). I've never used Macs in my life (and trying to do stuff on it was frustrating to say the least), so a comprehensive answer/guide would be appreciated.

You don't need XCode, but iirc you do need xcode tools which can be downloaded without downloading xcode itself for developing various apps. As for the IDE you can Use CLion by Jetbrains.
I think if someone is used to visual studio there would be definitely a learning curve . XCode or CLion as mentioned in previos post you could make them to work. If he/she is beginner for sake of learning using Visual studio code or Sublime editor would be a lot better but obviously you would have to make configuration .
XCode is most reliable and suitable option if you have to stick to MAC i think safe option is learn it .

I would recommend vscode but it just doesn't seem feasible for a beginner to do configuration needed specially on a mac.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -

if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
