Hi Fabian,
I believe Michael's recommendation for Emacs is correct. Just want to let
you know that my experience with Eclipse and LinuxCNC is okay. I use vim to
edit files, use Eclipse to trace source code, and use "make" to compile the
code.
It's really nice to know you choose LinuxCNC as the platform for your
project. Just want to let you know that we've implemented NURBS motion and
S-Curve velocity profile for TRAJ and JOGGING on our git repository at

Yishin
