I've tried xwpe, rhide, and Kdevelop.  I really liked xwpe for it's
simplicity and resemblance to the old Borland C IDE; but Kdevelop has
some advantages that you can't ignore.

First, it's the most complex of the ide's above.  It's also the most
functional and productive.  One thing that's a real mind blower about
Kdevelop is that makefile, documentation, and binary packaging
provisions were built right into the IDE.  It sets up sample
documentation and configuration files that are exactly in line with the
generally accepted packaging standard for GNU rpm and tarballs across
the net.  If you're using Kdevelop you are automatically compatible and
up to date with the latest program packaging standards.  That's a HUGE
time saver.

That also means that if you've never manually assembled a binary package
for public consumption, Kdevelop gives you a BY Example crash course on
how exactly to do it properly.

Having said that, I also have to say that I haven't found a way (yet) to
neatly integrate my use of Vi as an editor in to Kdevelop. It has an IDE
of it's own (editor), but it's in no way comparable to Vi.  I would have
assumed that there would have been a way to integrate Vi and Kdevelop
smoothly and seamlessly together, but I haven't seen it yet.  Presently
I work in a transparent Eterm using Vi to edit the C source, then go to
Kdevelop, reload the source (an annoying process), and then use the
Kdevelop utils to generate the makefiles, object files, documentation,
and binary(s).  In fact, any advice from some Kdevelop wizard on using
the ide in a way that automatically edits the sources using the
programmer's favorite editor would be appreciated....
