I'd be interested to hear which ones are in use!
I've never managed to get any real consistency with Linux IDE's:
I last coded in C# using Visual Studio and, much as I hate M$, it still
stands out as the best IDE for any serious work - they do like their coders
to be productive even if they don't mind them writing complete tosh!
I've just tested the latest MonoDevelop beta - the OS equivalent and its
getting quite usable now - still no debugging yet but reasonable gui design
and db access. I know there are those who say that the CLI should be avoided
at all costs but I say we're in Europe so why not hoist them by their own
petard!
Eclipse looks like it should be useful but all I ever get are dependency
problems - it is apparently possible to set it up to debug PHP on Apache but
I've never managed to come close.
FreeRides OK but primitive.
KDevelop just seems to not work when you need it....
