Did have a similar migration path as far as software
develpment goes. 

Try and take the trouble to learn Emacs/VI. Most of
the senior folks in my circle use those, even on
windows. Ofcourse it depends on what kind of a UI you
wold be attaching to your project - normally its
easier to design a UI using a visual tool, but I
wouldn't write code using an IDE. Emacs/VI are far
more superior to any IDE thats out there.

I would suggest try Emacs first (or maybe XEmacs)
since (a) I use it, and its extremely helpful, and (b)
I believe it has a gentler learning curve than vi.

Just my two cents.

And no Emacs vs VI flamewars pls, I am way too old for
that.
