2. is sufficient for most apps.  In time, 2 becomes 1, and we look for
maybe a 3. :)

I don't use an IDE, you might look at Geany:  http://geany.uvena.de/

Devhelp http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/Devhelp provides indexed
browsing of everything in /usr/share/gtk-doc, but it is a gnome app.

You will probably want to learn autoconf and friends, sigh...

Read the docs and read source files, that's why the are provided.
