I'm not trying to "sell" Eclipse - use whatever works best for you. Eclipse works best for me so that's what I use.
I just D/L Galileo to my windows box (it's a work thing) to get Java, XML & CVS. Have a look at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/compare-packages That'll probably answer some of your questions. For my personal work I need Java, C, XML, CVS & SVN. With the last version of Eclipse (Ganymede) I started with Java and needed to reach into: Help => Install New Software => Available Software You can just select what you need - I added subclipse & C/C++.
