Never worked here. Useless, sorry to say it but it is my experience.
Sorry - cannot agree with that! PureBasic and the IDE on Linux is not perfect and it's true there are important issues that need to be fixed. However, from my own personal experience it is certainly not useless. It is possible to make a large program and spend much productive time working with the IDE (my opinion - I understand and accept that others might have different experience).
My observations - same as many, the IDE sometimes crashes and just disappears. Almost always happens right at the start, first time the cursor is placed at a code line and then any key is pressed. Very annoying

But this behaviour is very erratic and does not happen every time. If the IDE does not crash after added/amending a few lines at the start of the session then it will normally continue to work for hours. When doing a long coding session I also sometimes get the problem with the blank auto-complete - also annoying but not so serious.
My program - 36256 lines. This is organised as a PureBasic Project, with a main file and 9 include files. The biggest single file is 15185 lines. Most of the code came from the Windows and Mac versions and then had many changes to adapt for Linux. My Linux program is still only an early Beta - I just finished a big update and a few customers are running it.
My distro(s) - All coding is done on a machine with MX Linux x64, currently version 18 (was 16 and 17). Now using PB 5.70LTS x64. MX Linux is very good - excellent for PureBasic. Another machine is for testing - multi-boot MX Linux 32-bit, Mint and Manjaro. On 32-bit PB 5.70 x86 currently has a problem loading, but 5.62 x86 works.
I hope the team fixes the problems with the IDE, but I'm prepared to wait! Personally I really like the IDE, same for Windows and Mac. Despite the above problems, it does everything needed and is logical and easy to use.
