I prefer "Qt Creator" myself.

Here is where I butt in and tell you that I prefer Visual Studio. Intellesense is very helpful, and the debugger is very easy to use. It is very well maintained.
With that being said, it is not a small piece of software by any means, but it's worth the few GBs on your drive for what it can do.
