Single-language development environments aren’t really the way to go nowadays.

So long as they support the target language(s) adequately. Some are
much more flexible in their language support tailor-ability than others.
I've often been disappointed by those development environments shipped
with compilers such as for Lahey and Absoft. I'm not especially fond of
VS either, but there doesn't seem to be any real competitors that
include all the essential features. The main problem with VS is MS continuously changing the "integration" interface such that vendors are
always chasing their tails. I often need to supplement the editor with something more powerful like kedit but usually for when I need to make
lots of string changes and a macro or a built in is more efficient. I
just switch back and forth as needed from within VS. It automatically
reloads the file when you exit any external editor.

Visual Studio is Windows-specific. It doesn’t do well for cross-platform development. Which is an essential feature nowadays.

I have used Simplyfortran for the past 5 years or so on Linux and
Windows. Works great. Thay keep up with the latest version of gfoprtran,
have a very nice debugger interface, and their product support is the
best of any software I have every used.

SimplyFortran comes with both gfortran and gcc. You can use Fortran, C,
and C++ code with it.

SimplyFortran is a good product for both Fortran and C++ mixed programs.

The only problem is that the debugger user interface support is not very sophisticated. If you want to break on the 4,000th call to a subroutine
then you must run dbg directly as the IDE only support breaking on the
first call to a subroutine.

I have asked them to improve this but they have not gotten back to me.

So, what are you going to do ?

I am very interested in your experiences should you want to share.

I am not very happy with MSVC++ and IVF.

Thanks,

Many thanks all for your replies and feedback. I generally use vscode
for coding but I've been tinkering with fortran lately and I was just wondering if simpylfortran was a good tool.

Cheers,

I have moved back to Simply Fortran for my 64 bit port. Much simpler
and faster to get things done. And supports back to Windows XP. IVF
only supports Windows 10 and 11.
