Pros

+ good IDE
Cons
- debugging could be more comfortable (the bar is set very high on windows due to MS Visual C++ IDEs)

Pros
2014 release seems to install correctly from CNET.com.
Seems to compile C console and windows programs.
Nice IDE. Able to use C programs immediately after install.
Free
Cons
After online install, I can not compile even a simple C++ console program. I receive this error message: "fatal error: <iostream.h> not such file or directory"
Summary
I downloaded this C/C++ compiler, (Orwell Dev-C++, 2014 release, from this site), because I wanted to be able to do some simple programs in C++. My system is Win 7.0 64-bit, 2GB mem, and 250 GB hard drive.
The fact that <iostream.h>, an essential C++ .h file, is absent makes me wonder what other files that are needed for C++ are missing.

Please DO NOT rate this software based on your missing C++ knowledge. The header <iostream.h> is deprecated since at least 15 years. The headers name really is <iostream>. No modern compiler will be required to support the old .h extensions to the standard library any more.
Pros
If I knew what it did I would give it a positive review
Cons
First time hearing of this program and surprised it is in my download Que.
Summary
To familiar with the click onto without knowing what you clicked. I will pass up on this one.

Pros
It does a good job when it doesn't crash, easy to use, and helpful, but...
Cons
It crashes frequently, for no apparent reason, I'm typing in a line, and then it freezes and never comes out of it.
Summary
If there was someone working on these bugs and updated it to fix them, it'd be great, however, right now, its a little bugged and I'm going to find a new program to use.

Pros
Easy to use.
Simple interface.
Cons
Buggy.
Outdated.
Unmaintained.
Summary
This piece of software is a relic of older times and is no longer necessary given the range of superior alternatives now available for free. Dev-C++ has not been updated for years, and the numerous bugs present in the package will therefore NEVER be fixed.
No person new to programming should download this package.
