I have been spending time here and then for the last months as a matter of fact and your comment helped me through to see things more objectively. Think I found a way to get plain C programming more exciting: I use Objective-C from which you can easily call C and even C++. So I write my Objective-C code for fun (maybe I get to program Objective-C one day, who knows) and embed some C or C++ code in my Objective-C files. There are numerous articles on the Internet that describe how to get this done. And XCode is a real nice IDE. So that sounds like a plan now ;-).

Well I wouldn't call it 'plain boring C' but YMMV :-)
I have never used an IDE for anything 'C type'
I prefer gedit (or emacs if I feel masochistic), make and a terminal 
window. Having said that I don't think I've ever written anything other 
than the most trivial Java *outside* of an IDE as I just can't be 
bothered with all that classpath nonsense, so, I guess it depends on 
your preferences.

Whatever you do for $DEITY's sake *enjoy* it. It's supposed to be *fun*.
There are so many uptight, pompous, self obsessed egomaniacs in this 
business that you have to maintain a sense of reality. It *really 
really* isn't that important.

As they say, 'if it feels good, do it'

Good luck
