I use an editor, {gcc,perl,whatever}, make and ddd for debugging. That's
one of the best things abount un*x: you have a lot of tools to choose from,
just pick one that fills your needs.
There are some IDEs, but I haven't tried them.
Besides, using standard tools (like make) helps with portability. In windows,
maybe that's not an issue, but when you want your code to compile and run
on BSD *and* Linux *and* solaris and other unix flavors it helps to use
standard tools and interfaces.
