I have to recommend Code::Blocks. I used Dev-Cpp for a long time before Code::Blocks and I've tried Visual Studio, but Code::Blocks wins at least for now because:
1) it starts up and is mostly faster on my machine than Visual Studio,
2) it supports more than one compiler (can compile with both gcc and cc),
3) and the best part is that you can have the project directory respond to actual directory layout when you have made the project before without an IDE.
If someone gets a fatal error in case of Code::Blocks was probably because of not downloading extra package with .dll-s. Also, it's safe to use it's nightly builds.
