It has been a while since I have been working in a GNU/Linux/Unix environment, and I know the landscape has changed since I left. I am therefore asking for recommendations for IDEs to use. I plan on developing in C, C++ and even C# perhaps.

My latest development experiences have been in VBScript using Primal Script, and C# for Windows, using Visual Studio Express. I rather like both IDE's functionality for their respective purpose (scripting vs. C#). I know Mono has a VSE-like interface, but I don't know anything about Mono, other than it is still in alpha development, and I think I'd like to return to K&R C for the core of my applications anyway.

So does anyone have a recommendation for good complete IDEs for C, C++ and C#?

Thanks,
Scot McPherson, CISSP, MCSA

First, read the Stickies, they will provide many answers and options.

Code::Blocks is a fine IDE for C/C++, and is available in the repositories.
Anjuta is another that is oriented toward C/C++, and Geany works well, also.

On the more "basic" note, there are always editors like fte, vi(m), emacs, gedit, and others that support basic indentation and syntax highlighting.

"Good" really is a subjective term, now possibly more than when you previously were in this environment. Use what suits you best.
