Favorite Development Environment

[morefood2001]

As a programmer, I am aware that there are hundreds of choices for a development environment for any language that I wish to program in. For example there is spim and mars which both assemble mips assembly code, and there is eclipse cdt, gedit, etc for c++.

What is your favorite development environment and why? It need not be language specific.

I will start:
I like to use eclipse because it supports Java, C++, C, and PHP, which are the main 3 languages that I use. I'm sure there are plugins for other languages as well that it supports.

Eclipse.

ViM.

No bull****.

Netbeans because it supports almost all languages, and organizes projects really well. Plugins for other languages, and works with a lot of different compilers.

Also a visual form for creating GUI with Java.

I've never heard of ViM, do you have a website that I can look at?

I'm sort of curious to what else is out there since I'm so eclipse oriented.

@morefood try netbeans.

vim is awesome. I have used gedit recently though.

Microsoft Visual Studio; despite the fact that it is slow but I like it, because I did not try any other environment

@speedular - Try eclipse or netbeans Visual Studio is only good with the .NET languages, and there are a lot better languages.
