Seriously, if you like an big IDE then I'd recommend eclipse. I've been forced to use it on a project for the last year and I really dislike it. It is too heavyweight and gets in my way. To me, a decent editor that does syntax high-lighting (vim or emacs and others are very capable in this regard), a couple of xterms, make and gdb (or ddd), are all the IDE one needs. Probably the older people (of which I am becoming) will say this, and the younger people, who grew up with IDEs will be horrified. I see this a lot where I work. There is a longer learning curve I think with the method I recommend, but I also think that knowledge gained is well worth the effort.
