I Love each one of them and have personally used it. From my prospective view I  think an old school IDE will be better for you to go through hardships of coding each bit without auto-completion or any such GUI feature.
It has been one of my best as I learned to debug my codes and get a better concept for better programming. It's not so user friendly yet a great friend when it comes to learn through hit and trial. 

Turbo C++



                                      Turbo C++




Turbo C++ is a discontinued C++ compiler and integrated development environment and computer language originally from Borland. 

Most recently it was distributed by Embarcadero Technologies, which acquired all of Borland's compiler tools .

 The original Turbo C++ product line was put on hold after 1994 and was revived in 2006 as an introductory-level IDE, essentially a stripped-down version of their flagship C++Builder.
 Turbo C++ 2006 was released on September 5, 2006 and was available in 'Explorer' and 'Professional' editions.
