Disclaimer: I work on a Mac.

I have a buddy that's working on getting into C++, and we've got him
set up with CLang and LLVM 2.8 in MinGW. (CLang and LLVM aren't quite
ready to try and work outside of a MinGW environment I think).

He's using Code::Blocks to edit things, and then we can tell it works
cross-platform because I wrote an SCons script to build it against my
Mac's dev toolchain.

If you haven't already explored this option, you might run Linux in a
virtual machine. I aced my x86 Assembler class running Windows XP in a
virtual machine on my Mac (for MASM; translating everything to NASM
wasn't at the top of my list of things to do). It wasn't fast or
flashy, but it sure got the job done!

If you're not worried about being completely tied to MSFT OS, then
Visual Studio is your best bet:

• Simple to install
• Tends to work

The biggest beef I have with it is that there's a lot of custom
language features and compiler behaviors that are specific to MSVC.
