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! prob Akash Deep Shakya wrote: > in gnome as well we can use kdevelop so you can use kdevelop its great :), i > use kdevelop and jedit but emacs and vi are great still earning them > > Regards > Akash > > > On Dec 8, 2007 10:30 PM, Jwalanta Shrestha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > dear prob, > > > > vi or emacs r still the best bet when it comes to coding. i know it's hard > > at first, but it's worth learning. once u start using it, u'll find it not > > that hard as they say n u sure will appreciate the flexibility. > > > > if u hate vi/emacs, u sud give anjuta a try.. i think it's one of the best > > c/c++ ide available in linux.. > > > > for casual codings, try jedit.. has lots of plugins n quite easier to > > use.. i was kinda fan of notepad++ in windows, so used notepad++ through > > wine even after moving to linux.. later on jedit replaced notepad++. > > > > if u use kde, u can use Kdevelop too. i dont use kde, so have no > > experience on this.. > > > > regards, > > jwalanta. > > > > > > > > On Dec 8, 2007 11:09 AM, prob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > Can anyone suggest the best IDE for C development on Linux, based on > > > your experience. > > > > > > I'm currently using Eclipse CDT on Fedora 6 (not the crap that comes > > > by default, I removed that and downloaded/installed the one from > > > eclipse.org).
