Years back, the no BS IDE would be Dev-C++ 5.11. My university uses it as the standard IDE for C++. CodeBlocks came in second. I'm now hooked to Jetbrains products, so I'm using CLion. I would then become a Linux geek and just use gedit with a nice theme.

Visual Studio definitely, you won't find any better IDE (in my opinion).

Visual Studio in full version is not a cheap piece of software however it's perfect.

code::blocks is fine the is probably because you might have deleted the .o file form it's place which is necessary to get .exe file to run the program

Does Visual studio install the COMPILERS itself?

Microsoft compilers are part of Visual Studio but you will also need SDK (but I think that installer will offer download). But Microsoft compilers are also available standalone and thus they can be use with other IDE not just VS.

Maybe is programming bad idea for someone who can not correctly install and execute an application.
