We use an in-house extension to visual studio to get code completion for our fortran code and to assist us with debugging. But even so there is a lot of room for improvement. Our main issues are:
- instability of visual studio. An error in the debugged program can crash VS.
- sometimes VS shows corrupted stacktraces (while WinDBG shows it correctly).
- debugger wont show values of variables of type CHARACTER(LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE
- Edit and Continue not supported
We used Sun workshop and it was very good, but there is no windows version.
