I like source-navigator from redhat, although it isn't as complete as KDevelop, it is farily straightforward.  You will have to use a separate GUI editor though.

VIM is my editor of choice for all languages. I used to like GUI IDEs but not any more. Now I just prefer to have multiple terms open, editing source in one, compiling in another, running in another, etc, etc...

VoidMan, what C/++ IDE were you using?

I used to use all the Borland IDEs for TP/BP/TC/BC/C++/Delphi/TASM etc when I *used* to do a lot of M$ programming.  But since I've seen the light I prefer to use VIM for everything from editing system files, to writing HTML, to writing shell/perl/PHP scripts, to C/C++ programming. Once you learn it you can't do without it. It's one powerful editor.  You can even set it up to compile your apps from within VIM but I prefer not to do that. Emacs is also capable of that, but I never did like Emacs personally.

And VIM will do Syntax hilighting for everything under the sun. I couldn't live without the powerful search/replace capabilities.

I like kate very much ... it's not really a IDE though, but a very flexible editor, with a less steep learning curve then emacs/vi. If you got the time to learn emacs/vi I would recommend that you do though......
If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

actaully, i though that emacs/xemacs was an c++ ide /* and everything else i have thrown at it*/, cuase when i go to make c++ code obey me, it says something about loading c++ modules and there is a little tab that says c++ that can do some good stuff

I have to echo VoidMain ... Vim is the best editor/IDE.  There is also a open-edition of Borlands Kylix available free for linux.  Really the OS is a development emvironment, thats Unix/Linux.

There are a couple of good ones. The newest version of Qt that comes with KDE 3.0 is much improved in that it now will allow you to create main windows graphically. The older versions limited you to just creating dialogs. Glade (GNOME) is even better as a graphical designer. I also heard of another development that was called "Komodo" (?) However, it wasn't free. I'll have to look into that one further.
