U++ is BSD licensed C++ cross-platform rapid application development
suite focused on
programmers productivity without sacrificing runtime performance.
Based on strictly deterministic design it provides an alternative to
GC collected platforms,
even for bussines logic oriented problems.

I ve tried "TheIDE" it s so complicated. Why didn't you make as other
IDEs
Mirek Fidler
To solve a couple of problems we had with "other IDEs".
The main issues to solve were modularity and crossplatformity (of
projects); each module has to know what other modules it needs to work
and also what external libraries (which are widely different in Win32
and various POSIXes) it requires etc...
I guess it might seem a little bit complicated at first, but there was
a good reason behind that.
Anyway, TheIDE is not designed as beginners learning tool. The
advantages perhaps are not apparent as long as you develop 500 lines
application running on single OS...
Try 100000 lines crossplatform project in "other IDE" and you will
start inventing stuff we have got :)

"Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring
aircraft building progress by weight."

Mirek Fidler
Definitely. Anyway, some projects simply are big, no matter what you
do....
(Besides, 100000 lines of U++ equals like 300000 lines of "normal C++
code" :)
