Top best Software for development in C++

1. Qt

Qt is the software development framework of choice by engineers in over 70 industries worldwide for creating, building and deploying millions of connected embedded devices and applications. They chose Qt because it’s intuitive, cross-platform and saves time. When you develop with Qt, you create more, code less and deploy everywhere — 

and ahead of the rest.

Qt is designed to work with every platform. It has a rich set of libraries which provide you most of the code packages easily. It also has it's own library named as Qt Quick. Which provide awesome GUI with less code. Qt Quick is really best for those developers who are started development with GUI and they have no experience to write bunch of codes. Due to all of its awesome features this software is not free. You can get its license from the site https://www.qt.io/  for the commercial use of you software.

2. wxWidgets

wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, Mac OS X,Linux and other platforms with a single code base. It has popular language bindings for Python, Perl, Ruby and many other languages, and unlike other cross-platform toolkit, wxWidgets gives applications a truly native look and feel because it uses the platform's native API rather than emulating the GUI. It's also extensive, free, open-source and mature.

As it is a library so you have to use a third party software to use wxWidgets library with your
application. There are some examples of application in which you can use wxWidgets.

• CodeBlocks

• wxDevCpp

This library is very useful if you do not want to pay for the commercial use of your application. Although its codes are a little bit complex then Qt Quick.
