    Eclipse creates a Database where the CPP files are stored and handled. This database is multiple times larger than the CPP files. Storing a project with 800 Bytes of Code needs 3 MB of Database

    More versatile than Bloodshed Dev-C++ in concern of supporting many other languages like python, java, js through plugins. A lot more libraries and testing (not debugging) possibilities through selenium or Squish Integration which always uses Eclipse as Base.

    Very easy usability, very good windows class library, very good debugger. Newer versions (5.5 and newer) have some overloaded Libraries. less known Bugs but the known ones are not fixes since years. Either, this system is in my opinion much better than VisualC and all the others mentioned on this website.
