[vtkusers] best IDE for VTK and C++ under linux

[shekharc]

Hi guys,

The best IDE on Linux and Windows for C/C++/D is CodeBlocks IMO.
<http://www.codeblocks.org/>
For all installed libraries, auto-completion works out of the box. It is 
also available in Ubuntu Jaunty Package Repository.

Cross platform and cross compiler makes it great from my experience.
