Eclipse does a lot more than java (even if it's more bloat than non-java programmers are usually willing to put up with). I'm sure some day it will do mono as well.

i like Borland JBuilder a lot, .NET is pretty good. I like the recordable macros in .nET.

I haven't given eclipse a fair enuff chance yet, but looks promising.

I though Borland decided to stop developing it in favour of eclipse? I think I read about that quite a while ago...

nobody mentioned ms notepad and a free compiler

As mentioned above, for text only projects (i.e. web development) I like TextPad. When I last did C++ I found VS 6.0 pleasant to use, but I haven't touched the newer .net stuff.

For my current java class (signal processing using Java) I'm required to use Forte, and I hate it, well specifically, I hate the fact that it refuses to use one window. :|

IntelliJ Idea owns Eclipse like there's no tomorrow.

Nothing other than VS.NET or VS6 for doing Visual Basic. If I'm feeling lucky and I can do without Intellisense, then generally working in vim or in a gray text on black background window is easier on the eyes for C. I guess I could change VS to those colors too but the feel is just not the same.

For HTML, I made my own editor in VB6. It's just a comfortable environment with an interface to an XHTML tidy DLL I wrote in C, and a log window at the bottom for errors and warnings from the tidy DLL. And if by development environment you mean a can of Sprite, some Doritos, and an easy-on-the-eyes LCD screen (all paired with taking breaks every 30 mins to vent off my anger from debugging), that suits my preferences well.

i have used nedit before with gcc.
For large projects IDE is must for C++ as the include files and linking gets a little crazy.

Visual Studio .NET

a lot of features but not too much of a resource hog like those Java-based IDEs

Eclipse ftw!

 

[imported_MadHatter]

I like .Net, but my current employer works with JDeveloper and I dig it more than Netbeans

the next version of jbuilder is going to be built on top of eclipse, they say it will be out in Q2.
They came out w/ jbuilder 2006 abt 4 months ago, just a minor upgrade.

Visual Studio .NET 2005 is the best I've used, but I also really enjoyed using JBuilder. I haven't used Eclipse in years; it's been heavily revamped since I first used it way back when it was a clunky '57 Chevy.

NetBeans was teh suck, too. Maybe it's better now.

... not a development environment.
