Actually, I use both TCIDE and GCC. When I have to
write ANSI C code, I use GCC. All that I can do,
currently, is write code in Kate / Kwrite, compile it,
generate the file for executing the program and use
the -time parameter while doing this. 
It was a bit difficult initially, due to "bad" habits
of the IDE. ;)

But I haven't involved myself completely, for forking
a project (irrespective of its size) in C, using GCC.

Umm, I didn't know about RHIDE. I had heard about
KDevelop and Eclipse.

They are comfortable using TC++ 3.0 on windows. They
probably won't give a try using GCC on windows.
Therefore I suggested inclusion of a session of GCC as
well. Be it on Windows or the Linux distro of their
choice. I'm sure, quite a lot of this list's members
started with GCC, and they can  demonstrate a "How-To"
on GCC w. r. t. TC++ 3.0

Umm, I planned to download it. The size is in
two-digit MB's, I guess, so I had to cancel it. If I
save (and I will make an effort) to save MB's for this
month's quota, I'll download it and put it on the Mesh
repo, next week.
