I never really liked gedit; when I first switched my primary
development platform to Linux (from working on OS/2 and Windows), it
was an Ubuntu, and I felt that gedit was less than satisfactory. The
second GUI editor I tried was SciTE, which IMHO is distinctly
superior. Mainly, though, I don't use any sort of IDE per se; the only
"IDE-like" feature in my setup is SciTE's F7 key binding to run
'make', and then a properly-configured makefile in every directory
that I work in. Between that and a terminal window for git commands,
there's not really much more to look for in a development environment.
