    Vim/Emacs/gedit with gcc and gdb. Do it the old fashioned way.

    If you use Linux then don't be a noob. Look up IDE's and try them and pick the one you like best. My suggestion is Geany.

    Anjuta and KDevelop are both pretty good. The best way to get started programming C/C++ is to get a book or take a class ;)

    If you want to really learn C/C++, don't let the IDE do the typing work for you, this way you will remember things better. So, +1 for geany. It's basically a blown-up (in a positive way) text editor.

    This is so true. I've had to use Eclipse for lab assignments, as such I began to use it to remember names and I don't feel as if I'm learning Java as well as I learned C++.

    I just use gedit (or anything with code highlighting), gcc and gdb on Linux.

    Oh, if you like using gedit for C, you would probably love geany!
