I used it to try out someone else's work and didn't really find the UI very elegant. In particular I couldn't copy text from the compiler error window, which I thought was desperately bad. Anyway, apart from that it worked; middle-clicking to compile and to launch the program was ok, and the OpenGL program I was trying out ran very smoothly. The only link I seem to have kept is http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/ -- This is obviously some strange usage of the word "simple" that I was previously unaware of.
