Well, thanks for all your suggestions guys.

I do have Dev. But sadly it doesn't work on Linux.

I'm not very familiar with Emacs but vi (and not ViM) is my all time
best editor whenever I need to fiddle with some conf file or just read/
search through a text file. And I love its geeky syntax highlight
colors. I'm quite comfortable working on it, but I still couldn't use
it as my IDE of choice.

Anjuta didn't work for me. It crashed like anything. Well, that might
be specific to my PC, but again, Anjuta wasn't too good with indexing
either. But its pretty lightweight, which is one good advantage.

So based on your suggestions, I've two things on my task list - get to
know Emacs better. and then try out kdevelop. I haven't tried it yet.
I do use gnome, but wouldn't mind switching to kde anytime, just for
the sake of good IDE - as thats what I do most of the time.

I'm not in an anti-IDE campaign, but I'm out looking for some
luxuries. You know, like, being able to click a source file in the
navigator and right click to launch the same file in nautilus or
konqueror. Or lets say, drag and drop a header out of nautilus into my
project, so that I can use it temporarily and get rid of it later,
etc. etc.  :-)

My own experience so far, Eclipse CDT is the best in terms of
features, and nothing can beat Netbeans when it comes to looks and
space optimization. It gives me enough space to conveniently look at a
source and its header file at the same time in my 15" display (NOT
widescreen).

Anyways, thanks a lot for your suggestions. I will certainly try Emacs/
Kdevelop and share my experience with you all. Meanwhile, if you have
something, I'll be pleased to be enlightened ;-)

Cheers!
