I am a first year Comp. Sci. student and am looking for the best way to develop C++ on a Mac. I have Xcode and Textmate.

What are the benefits/negatives of each? Are there any better ones?

Do you have any tips?

I am not a fan of having to use a project to run programs with Xcode. Is this the only way to do it, or am I mistaken?

I just found Eclipse, though I havent tried it yet. Add that to the list to compare. – Josh Aug 20 '09 at 16:38

This isn't really programming question this is a software question it belongs here more than stackoverflow.com in my opinion. – faceless1_14 Aug 20 '09 at 17:20
I hate to be the one to play ping pong with a question but we now do have the 5 required votes to move this to SO, however I am not entirely convinced that it doesn't belong here as well. I will therefore wait for the power to be, the community or a more experienced moderator to make the final call. Agreed? – Diago Aug 20 '09 at 18:00
