You might want to check out SciTE.....

It is based on the Scintilla engine, has some really great features like line numbers, paren matching, ''compile'' - ''build'' - ''run'' type commands similar to VC, an output window (again... like VC) and some other pretty nifty features that remind one of intellisense (uh yeah... again... like VC ).

Favorite thing is the OpenGL API plugin for the editor, makes OpenGL coding just a tad easier.

Check it out at http://www.scintilla.org

I run Anjuta and rdesktop to connect back to my WinXP box and run MSVC7.1, then mount the server share, where I keep the source, using samba.

If Anjuta did not *insist* on making copies of the source files when you added them to your project it would be easy. I have no idea why it does this, other than to piss me off. I add the source files, close Anjuta, delete the source files, and make symbolic links to the samba share, then restart Anjuta.

Anjuta is kinda stupid about touching the source files and doesn't auto-update the files like MSVC does when they change on disk.

I tried to use KDevelop too, but there was some unreconcilable problem which I have forgotten... it did auto-update like MSVC though.

Latetly, I've given up on Anjuta, and just recompile the project using the makefile it generated and edit the source on the XP box.

Dev-C++ is making a Linux port, which should be verra-naice when it is ready.

The IDE for Linux I had seen is one for Linux:

ANJUTA http://www.anjuta.org
try it! =)

Heh,

A seriously hacked-up vim/gvim for life is my motto these days, though for a few years I was an Xemacs hermit for just programming ( classic vi for editing though ). I grew tired of the resource-intensive nature of Xemacs and all the LISP hacking to get things ''just so'', so I made the painful switch.

Kdevelop was the most awful IDE I''ve ever tried to hunker-down and use. I think this just continues the tradition, IMO, of KDE sucking badly ( let the flames begin, I''m sure ). I''d rather use a stream-editor like ''ed'' before I''d use Kdevelop.

I grit my teeth everytime I have to fire up Visual Studio 6.

Aren''t we the l33t h4x0r...

Anjuta uses autoconf/automake so you can use that instead of using anjuta to create makefiles.

One thing that really annoyed me about anjuta is the enforced pattern - .h files in include/ .cpp/.c files in src etc. Also, no virtual folders for organising files.

Yeah, while overall I liked Anjuta, the big things I had problems with were the things it FORCED upon you. There was an early version, at least, that automatically put your source in a src directory. There was no way to change this. There are numerous other examples, and if it wasn''t quite the insistent bitch, I might actually still use it

If you say so, bro.

ViM works great for large projects. I''m a professional OS programmer and have used ViM to work on my 20-50K LOC quite well. You just have to use the features in the editor to make it easier. ViM has a great help feature. Just type :he in command mode and it''ll bring you to a very verbose help file.

Why use a mouse to highlight a word and then hit a bunch of buttons for "search" when I can save ten seconds and type /word, and then * to find the next instance and # to find the last instance. I used to do accounting software and we wrote it in Visual Studio. I don''t want to have to go back to those kinds of editors.

I used to get hand strain from moving my hands so much to the mouse and to the arrow keys but now that I don''t have to move my hands beyond the alpha keyset proper I don''t get hand strain. Yay!

Give it a try, you might like it. The ability to bind scripts to key strokes or commands is really nice as well. It cuts down a lot of the foot work involved in coding.

I have, for several years. I hate it.
