Although it supports the full GUI toolkit I think QT Designer would be perfectly
good for developing console-only programs:

I find it the "stablest and best". QT also has the interesting feature of being
cross-platform with runtimes for Mac and Windows so, when you come to write that
GUI ... :)

Almost any modern Linux distribution will either install QT Designer as part of
'development tools' or provide an RPM somewhere.

An interesting alternative is Anjuta, which I installed a few days ago and am
quite impressed with (as are others):
