Crashes? I've been using Qt Creator for about a year now, every day, on three platforms, for projects between 40,000 and 1,000,000 lines of code, and I've never had a crash since it came out of beta. Maybe it's because I freshly compile Qt Creator every morning after doing a git pull... And compared to, for instance, the speed with which Emacs fontifies some of the bigger legacy classes in my projects, Qt Creator is extremely fast. I've stopped using Emacs altogether for my C++ projects now, in fact.

And since nothing in Emacs can do the kind of smart code insight Qt Creator offers (well, KDevelop is even better at that, but KDevelop is still a beta), I've actually gained a lot in productivity.

So, if it's been some time since you last tried Qt Creator, like, since the first beta, give it another try.
