Time for a Change...

[ExMSCoder]

I've been a coder on MS based products for years and I've finally had enough of the BS. My experiance has mostly been on Visual Studios and now I need to find a comparable IDE for Linux developement.

I've looked around a bit but don't seem to find anything that meets this need. Seems like there are lots of differnt pieces and parts that have to be put togther "just so".

Can someone suggest a dev. tool/environment I should look at?

Have you had a look at KDevelop or Anjuta?

Both are quite popular.

I had been programming several years with VS too and when I made my move to Free Software, I settled for Sun's NetBeans as a replacement.

A question, are either of these complete or do they require additional pieces parts?

Contrary to Windows, most programs in the world of GNU/Linux rely on other programs. While VS ships with it own compiler, the IDEs here are merely GUIs and the compiler and debugger are separate "products".

If you're used to Visual Studio, there are several IDEs you can look at in Linux. Some allow you to code in several languages, others are language-specific:

IBM Eclipse - Eclipse.org home (Java/C++)
Anjuta - Anjuta Integrated Development Environment (C++)
NetBeans - Welcome to NetBeans (Java)
KDevelop - http://www.kdevelop.org/ (C++)
Code::Blocks - Code::Blocks (C++)

There are quite a few more; these are just the more popular ones.

Any suggestions. Sorry to be so dense but this is all new to me.

I've go Netbeans too. I've installed G++ and now I can also develop appications in C++(I use Netbeans IDE 6.1). I've worked too with Visual Studio's and it's quite a heavy system, but Netbeans is too for my pc. Netbeans is great for C/C++ and Java development (and some languages I never use).
