Best C Editor/IDE for Ubuntu? Need for class! Thanks!

[_Atreides_]

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you guys thought was the best c editor or ide for ubuntu. My teacher suggests emacs, and i was just wondering if this is what people thought was the best idea. I have seen people suggest ajunta(sp), gedit (with plugins and this seems nice but i cant seem to find the plugins), vim, etc, but oddly enough I cant find many threads or a semi clear answer. What are your guys opinions? thanks!

Geany, hands down (for me, at least). It's fast, lightweight, and should have all the features you want and need without slowing down your system.

Emacs is evil, and so is your teacher apparently.

The best editor is the one you like the best ;) There are so many. The stickies have some information there for you. Gedit's plugins are in its Edit->Preferences window and you can install the package "gedit-plugins" for more.

There are not many threads because they were moved to recurring discussions and there is no semi-clear answer because this is entirely personal preference.

In case you want to mimic me (for some reason), I use vim and gedit.

For IDEs...

Ive been using NetBean's lately for some JNI C coding and its been serving me well. Obviously its more heavy weight and slower than an editor but it is very feature rich.

The other thing I like about NetBeans is that its a complete IDE straight out of the box E.g. C/C++, J2EE, J2SE, J2ME, Ruby, PHP etc... (With the "All" download option)

I've started using Eclipse C/C++

In the wee bit of java I've done, I liked netbeans better than eclipse.

I started using Eclipse for C/C++ because its what we use in our labs at school. Slowly but surely its growing on me.
