Hello,

as you will see again and again, there is no such thing as the best application or way to get work done in the GNU/Linux or Unix world.

When I write small extension I merely use a simple texteditor (gedit or vi) and keep a small terminal window open for compiling. The advantage is that the project won't be cluttered by project management files from the IDE and you will learn quickly what's going on in the background.

For bigger projects I personally use NetBeans. It's not quite as slow as the more complete Eclipse but has everything I need: being able to switch between source-files, visual debugger and a working auto-completion.

But just because it works well for me does not mean it would for you:
So, I just list some projects you might want to check:

- NetBeans
- Eclipse
- KDevelop
- Anjuta
- Code:Blocks
- Emacs
- Kate

As mentioned by others, there isn't a "best" as this depends on the preferences of individuals. The most popular IDEs are KDevelop, Anjuta, Eclipse and Netbeans. VIM and Emacs can be customised to provide good development environments. Geany is also a good small ide/text editor.
