You don't really need an IDE, generally. A good text editor - I use SciTE, but as alister said, there are as many viable answers as there are posters - is all you need. Back when I wrote code in Q-BASIC, VX-REXX, and then C and C++, I used IDEs, but even then the main features I used were just smart text editors. My preferred "IDE", these days, is Debian Linux with Xfce, which gives me a convenient workspace in which to run SciTE plus a few dozen terminal windows. One of them will be dedicated to source control (git, hg, or whatever the current project uses); some of those do have GUI interfaces or editor integration, but I find it easiest to use the command line. Another generally is for running the program, unless it's one that permanently stays running (or is being remotely manipulated via a TCP/IP link). Then, depending on what I'm doing, I might have a few more... maybe a music player (or maybe that's VLC, invoked via the Yosemite Project), maybe a few man pages, whatever else I need. It's highly unlikely that anyone's written an IDE that does everything I could possibly want, so I just use the computer's desktop as that IDE. It can do anything! :) ChrisA
