I am currently using Dolphin (KDE) as a file manager - it has a built in terminal which can be started in the currently viewed directory (F4).
It also has drag/drop twin window file displays.
For an editor, so far the best I have found is Kate. It has highlighting for Clipper code and "sessions" in which all a project's files can be saved. Arachnophilia is also a good cross platform editor (Java) and very configurable for any programming language. It's a bit slow to launch being Java based, but I like the 'Careware' philosophy! (You have to read it ;-)) I am fairly new to Linux so I will be watching other people's suggestions with interest!

Hi all,

Has anyone some recommendations for an efficient Linux development environment?

I'm thinking of a good file manager plus a decent editor, with proper cut&paste support. Can be CUI or GUI, and even integrated, to handle multiple projects. Plus possibly an integrated FTP client. I'm rooting from Far Manager on Windows.

On OSX, TextMate is a nice editor.

Tools I use, but none of them really cut the chase:
- Terminals (good but can't get up to speed)
- Midnight Commander (horrible keyboard handling, with cumbersome editor)
- mucommander (good file manager, very-very I mean very basic editor)
- vim/pico/emacs (I'd need to grow a meter long beard to use these I suppose)

Opinions don't intend to flame, these a beginners impressions, even though I'm a beginner since 10 years on Linux, I still feel numb when trying to a achieve anything, it's slower than on Windows by one factor.

Brgds,
Viktor
