I used to use nedit + shell and it worked quite well. I've got a good syntax highlighting mode and some support scripts. These days I've switched to jEdit but I use much the same workflow. It *is* possible to use the "console" and "error list" plugins for jedit to build programs and get automatic error message highlighting, but the OCaml error format makes it a bit sub-optimal. If you want to try it I can tell you how to configure things. You would still need to run the toplevel in an external shell. The nice thing about jEdit is that it's cross-platform and not quite as bloated as Eclipse. Also, using omake for your build system has some nice advantages. The '-P' flag causes the project to automatically rebuild when any project file changes on disk. After you fix a bug the next error message is already waiting for you.
