Best Linux C/C++ programming IDE?

hello everyone. i'm new to linux and looking for a good c/c++ ide. i don't need all the bells and whistles. i really live JPadPro for java programming. basically just a fancy text editor that auto indents, color codes, compiles. of course i need a little more than just the basics but i definitely don't need another visual studio. i read about kdevelop but most people seem to think it's overly complex (i'm a cs student and not a pro). i'm going to give it a shot but thought i'd get some input from everyone. oh yeah, what i would really like is an ide that will allow me to write a simple "helloworld.c" program without having to create a massive, multi-folder 'project'. thanks.

p.s. i've been writing my programs in........ pico
 
Like BBWF said, you seem to be looking for something like emacs or vim. You might want to try out anjuta...but then again its alot like kdevelop.

uhh, so in a standard unix enviornment, with an empty directory called DIR; would

rm ~/DIRPATH/DIR
and
rmdir ~/DIRPATH/DIR

essentially do the same thing?

it's all about vim, oh and ctags is bad ass too.

rm usually won't delete directories. If you use 'rm -r directory' it will, but it will also remove all the contents of that directory recursively, so be carefull.

Also realize that '~' translates to your home directory, so ~/DIRPATH/DIR expands to /home/username/DIRPATH/DIR when the command finally executes.
 
I've actually been using kate a lot for my c/c++ work. You can have multiple files open at once, good for viewing header files, and embed a terminal window for your gcc/g++ commands.
 
Nedit is nice. Kate is looking pretty good also.

But for a bare-boces sort of IDE, I really like Code Crusader and the associated debugger Code Medic.
Very nice editor, and a bare bones IDE that you can build a project in, create makefiles from, has a symbol browser and inheritance tree, etc.
It isn't free anymore unfortunately 🙁
