Is Sublime Text 2 useful as a C ++ environment? [Vs. Visual Studio]

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out which way to build a C ++ program. I fell in love with Sublime Text 2 as an editor because it is extremely powerful and extensible. However, at the same time, it seems that an IDE, such as Visual Studio or Codeblocks, is required to develop a C ++ program.

Is it possible to create a C ++ program using only Sublime Text 2, or is this not recommended? Can Sublime Text be used as an IDE in the same sense as Visual Studio?

All answers appreciated :) Yes, I did extensive research; I am not very experienced in programming.

You can write the code in any text editor and create it using a separate compiler. Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), such as Visual Studio, are seen by some as a convenience because they pack a text editor, project management, and compiler together.

For example, when I write code on Linux, I use vim to write my code and the gcc compiler to create it.

I recommend everything that works best for you. When I'm on Windows, I use Visual Studio to create my projects, but I still usually use my own editor (vim) to write code.

Sublime Text 2 has some IDE-like features, such as projects and "assemblies" for executing other programs from within the editor. I use it at home to create C ++ projects and to work with HTML / Javascript projects.

However, there are several missing features compared to the full IDE, such as Visual Studios Intellisense and the wizards, or the built-in debugger.
