Try Anjuta (or here )

Of course, the tools can become a crutch

Vim/Vi has been ported to every platform under the sun, so I always know that no matter what platform I'm on I'll have at least that.

By the way, Anjuta 2.0 is just around the corner (later on this month I believe). Let's hope it comes with a decent parser. http://www.anjuta.org/wiki/index.php/Anjuta2I've never really understood why Gnome people haven't put more emphasis on creating a top-notch IDE like the KDE folks have.

You might try Anjuta! Also, i might have said that of EMACS .. but it's more powerful than you think (but not for MS Developers >;) )

Some of it comes with the base debian install:

GCC,G++
<flamewar>vim/emacs</flamewar>
links-ssl/curl-ssl-wget
ssh
Perl

Then a whole lotta debs for Gnome/KDE...

Then the actual desktop GUI:
GDM
IceWM
Idesk
Endeavour 2


Then the base apps
Anjuta (C++ IDE)
Gedit Notepad
Mplayer + plugins
XMMS + plugins
ALSA framework
Frozen Bubble!
the GIMP
Open Office
Thunderbird+Firefox
GAIM
Gnome-meeting

And the latest 2.6.x kernel

I've created a CD which will give you all the above in one disk. Automatic installations. Just create a linux/swap partition, and it will install to the largest available 'nix partition, also adding any windows partitions to the lilo.conf

ALSA Sound support is ready (though you must edit /etc/modules with whatever soundcard module you have)

X GUI starts in SVGA mode (best to xf86config and choose your GUI)
USB mouse support through /dev/input/mice

I'm considering putting it up online, but at about 620MB for the ISO I'd need some decent hosting space for that. So far we're using it at work to convert windows desktops to dual-boot... it's XP themes so the windows lusers can figure it out rather easily.

It's also configured to build the base menu structure when a user logs in... and idesk will mount a CD+browse with endeavour on doubleclick, or unmount+eject on a right-click.

From India: There are atleast two that I know of: Anjuta, libyahoo2

• When you write in Gtk+, you can get an application that runs on all the platforms you listed. My gtk+ newsreader Pan runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX.

• The window manager is orthogonal to the topic of what's important from the software maker's point of view: ICCCM compliance is the only feature any application writer cares about. No application requires a specific WM. To do so would needlessly limit their audience.

• Likewise, you're misinformed about Mono: nobody is telling anyone that they have to port anything to Mono. C# is just another language that Gnome supports. Never in the 4+ years I've worked on Pan has anyone mentioned porting Pan to C#.

• gtk doesn't lack documentation. In fact the documentation team has made leaps and bounds over the last year.

• If you prefer RAD tools, Anjuta and Glade are available.

• Discussing Qt as a `modern C++ based toolkit' and disparaging Gtk+ as lacking a `modern API' is just language bias (and ignores moc's pre-STL cruftiness). If you want to use gtk+ in an OO language, many language bindings are available.

Again, this isn't to take anything away from Qt -- its tools are pretty good, and its documentation is excellent. However, Gtk+ is very good too.

While it is not shut down, the Debian website has a LARGE statement in support of the protest on it's home page.

I've also noticed that the anjuta website is closed.

Now you're asking for a dangerous precedent. VS.NET gives people who should never touch a compiler the impression that they know what they're doing. To avoid turning this into a pissing contest, there are already a coupe of good IDEs for Linux, like Anjuta, which is about right for intermediate coders, and for the "point-and-click" set there's even Kylix which is about as much of a RAD tool as anything you'd find on Windows.

Why is there a big deal about this, other than the promise by IBM and making good that promise? Anjuta DevStudio, which is one of the best GUI IDE's on Linux IMHO, supports Java. I personally havean't gotten into Java, so I could care less about this, but Anjuta is fully GPL'd already.

On my never ending search to get to know different things, I stumbled upon the Anjuta IDE.

Trying Anjuta was my first attempt at using an IDE since a long time -- and frankly, although Anjuta indeed seems to have a lot of features and matter of factly impressed me by unseen things such as mentioned "code folding" it was not my cup of tea, but I believe that was a personal matter. :)

I gave the IDE a try approximately two or three months ago and it seemed to have quite a bit of bugs. Still, if you are developing from within a free operating system and looking for an IDE you might want give it a try before you shell out the bucks for the above mentioned software.
