There is no need to exit any editor. If you're running X windows, you
have both emacs and xterm at the same time. If not, you may open
one console for editor and another for your shell.
But there's a better way! Try `M-x compile' -- emacs will read gcc
output in another buffer. Clicking mouse-2 over error message will
bring you to the line in question -- no need for extra IDE.

There are many IDE-like products. To see a few, look at freshmeat.net
appindex, section 'Development'.
Well, if you're looking forward to "attend the Church of Emacs" :),
try `M-x font-lock-mode'. Emacs has nice syntax highlighting -- and
knows C/C++ to some extent.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Willy.
