DDD is a debugger environment, not an IDE.  KDevelop is an IDE that
includes a nice debugger too.

When it comes to debuggers, DDD is much more complicated and powerful
than the debugger that comes with KDevelop.  DDD has saved my life on
several occasions.

As for IDEs, your programmers are most likely going to be most familiar
with something that looks like Visual Studio (shudder), so you'll
probably want to stick with KDevelop, which is the premier open source
IDE.  KDevelop has the ability to create autoconf files, which are a
bear to create by hand, but are very useful if you ever deploy on a
variety of linux and unix targets.  I believe KDevelop 3 also now has
pretty good code-completion features like Visual Studio has.  If it only
had vi key-bindings it would be usable for me.

My perferred IDE is currently a terminal window and vim or gvim.  :)
