No, Nothing but Linux these days. However, I've done hugely more 
development using a command line that I've ever done with an IDE, so I'm 
happier with several console windows open and a decent multi-buffer 
editor plus ant/make than I've ever been with an IDE. I think the only 
ones I've used were (in date sequence):

- Borland C 3.2 and 4.5 
     non-standard make, very pedestrian editor and debugger
- Parallax BS2 STAMP 
     not a bad IDE but must be used since it is also the compiler,
     program loader and debug interface for the STAMP, which is a
     micro-PCB with a serial interface thats used for program loading 
     and debugging
- IntelliJ 
     very cluttered screen and first and second sight, and the editor
     isn't more than average apart from its refactoring ability   

OTOH I've used command lines development environments via teletypes, 
glass teletypes, block-mode terminals (ICL 2900/3900/ IBM S/360, AS/400), 
several types of serial terminal (VT100, Wyse120, Hazeltine and SWTPc) 
and X-term. In short, almost all my professional programming career has 
used command linbes for development. I have never been impressed enough 
with the additional capabilities, if any, of any IDE I've seen to think 
it was worth installing and learning to use it. 

However, that's a personal viewpoint and yours may well be quite 
different.
