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

[Dominik Szczerba]

Indeed, code::blocks is pretty good, and cross platform. Eclipse is a 
bit stony. Geany is an interesting lightweight option too, I just read a 
binary is also provided for Windows. KDevelop has been crashing for me 
for years, plus it is not cross platform, not even cross windows manager 
on linux (uses KDE lib stuff not just QT).
