I'm using Mint 18.1 with Cinnamon as a desktop. I would like to develop GUI apps that use OpenCV. This being 2017, I thought I would ask those with experience what IDE to choose. I assume it should use C++, but I want to make sure I'm not limited by proprietary GUI components. I don't plan to see anything, but a brick wall at the last minute is not fun.
Note that I did manage to successfully install OpenCV2.4.5 on a Windows 7 machine, but didn't create anything with a GUI. That was about 5 years ago.
Hope I don't create a war with this question.
