A slimmer but function-rich C/C++ editor is Code Crusader. I prefer Nedit. And yes, Make and makefiles are the way to go. There are many front-ends to the command line compilers (KDevelop and Code Crusader both provide compile buttons) but they all use the command line stuff behind the scenes. All those editors and many more are in the ports collection. I used VS for a few years, I used Code Crusader for quite a while when I switched to *nix, and I now prefer Nedit as it's useful for many, many languages. vi and emacs are fine too, but I prefer a graphical editor. I use vi constantly on remote boxes.
