I'm a visual studio kind of guy and use to tools that can setup a make file for me and be able to add and remove files with out any extra work. I haven't found a tool that I can use for Linux that is smiler to VC in that respects. I know there are a lot of them out there so which one would you recommend? Something easy to setup and use would be cool.

If I understand what you're asking for, you might want to try MinGW studio or Eclipse.

Forgot about Eclipse. How does that do for C++ development under Linux?

I personally use Anjuta as editor, and command line to type make, and startup application, it requires to create makefile on your own, but it is not a big deal.

Codeblocks is very easy - http://www.codeblocks.org/ - if you don't need GNU Makefiles, otherwise I would use Anjuta.
