On the contrary, I liked it and still do.  But I needed to force myself to learn
Vim for the times I had to edit configuration files in pure console mode, and
got addicted.  I have tried Emacs too, but this is a step too far for me.

gVim is what I normally use.

KDevelop is good; and has the big advantages of integrating the debugger in a
similar way to MS VC++.  I believe the next big release is due out soon under
its new name....which I do not remember.

(Hope the Linux Tiger will be xboard compatible.).

BTW Kate is pretty good too.
