What does everyone use here? I''d rather have an IDE rather than just using something like Emacs.


Use Vim or Elvis - they''re better. If you really want an IDE, use KDevelop. It''s pretty good.

I use KDevelop, and I think it''s great. I''ve tried Anjuta, but the stupid thing never seemed to pay any attention to my settings, and to force me to use a src/ directory for all my file is just plain annoying. So, KDevelop it is!

Anjuta. Definately.

I never could get KDevelop to work correctly, and it was installed by default on my Slackware system...

I just started seriously using linux myself. I''ve been testing almost all of the ones suggested.
I definetly think anjuta is the way to go. KDevelop is alright but the big drawback imo is that you have to create project no matter what (at least I couldn''t see a way to do a single file). Anjuta does single files as well as projects and when it does do projects it seems to have less overhead than kdevelop.

fyi My windows programming is mainly done with borland products so that you know where I''m coming from.

I usually use Nedit for source code editing, and then use makefiles for the actual build process. KDevelop is okay to use, but I personally find myself to be more efficient while using nedit from the command line.

Nedit rocks. I use that a lot too when I don''t feel like using an IDE...

Also use it to edit HTML and such...

IMHO, vi is just plain horrible. Any editor where you need to enter cryptic commands before you can start editing is a Bad Idea.

Personally, I like jed and pico/nano for console editing. However, I usually find myself writing everything with loads of kwrite windows opened in KDE :}
I did try KDevelop, but I didn''t really like the "feel" of it. I also tried Anjuta in its early days. Maybe I should give it a try once more.

Oh, and I''m using plain Makefiles for everything but the simplest projects because I''m just too lazy to figure out how to set up autotools + dynamic libraries.

But when push comes to shove, vi kicks ass. It''s small, fast and powerful, and those "cryptic commands" eventually save you a ton of keystrokes/mouse movement when you get used to them. vi was my sole "patnah" when performing recovery operations on my system, though I prefer emacs as a source editor. It has its quirks but it''s still the most powerful *nix environment (some say emacs is a desktop).

However, Kwrite is still pretty cool.

I don''t mind using nano or pico, except for the fact that neither of them have syntax highlighting (at least not that I know of). lpe is another editor that I used quite a bit in the past.
