I just started getting into C++ and was wondering what you guys think is the best C++ IDE to use. I have been using CodeBlocks but was wondering if there is anything out there that is better. Also which one is best for making a gui?

I use sfml for graphic stuff and windowing. Its the best in my opinion. Then Opengl for 3d stuff. You could make you won GUI's with sfml or find a lib that does them for you.

Im gonna try sfml and also that wxwindows. What about a graphical designer to make a simple gui. I remember messing around with a program a couple of years ago where you drag and drop buttons and other components. Any insight?

I always use visual c++ for gui's.. But I know it pretty well so I stay with it. But I have heard of qt and how great it is so I would have to recommend qt. It is cross platform also... I just got qt and I can't quite figure out so I would recommend finding some tutorials.
