The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

ok i know emacs and vi and all other versions of vi are GNU but is anjuta GNU i know they say its an IDE but does that matter is IDE different from GNU????? if so can someone please point me in right direction for a list of GNU text editors. i found emacs to be a bit hard to use and vi is kinda hard also but i have books to help just not sure if like anjuta is GNU cause i know how to use that already. or kdevelop or something like that.
I read your post three times and I still don't understand what you are asking: A text editor? An IDE? What Anjuta is? What GNU means? You might consider reformulating your post.
i know what GNU is and i know that vi and vim and emacs are GNU text editorsok. now what im asking is are anjuta or kdevelop concidered GNU?? second is IDE and GNU different?
GNU means GNU is Not Unix, GNU programs are GNU because of their license. This has nothing to do with functionality.
IDE means Integrated Development Environment.
An IDE can be GNU or not. Both Anjuta and KDevelop are GNU programs. Both are IDEs.
ok i thought vim was taken from vi and i know VI is GNU. ok next where can i find a list of GNU text editors if there is one. im starting C++ and they are telling me to use a GNU text editor and i found emacs and Vi to be a bit hard.
You can use any text editor for programming. The only GNU text editor I know is emacs, so asking for a GNU text editor is sort of limiting your choice.
see thats what i thought too but the "book" says to use GNU so i wasnt real sure if that would be needed for something that maybe anjuta or kdevelop cant do
Hmmm, it's almost *exactly* like bashing your head against a wall... it's amazing someone has pulled this effect off!
The GNU Project is a Unix-like userspace that is intended to be free. A userspace is the basic tools that when put with a kernel, becomes an operating system. In this userspace, there are a couple of text editors you can use. Here I've compiled a short list for you to peruse at your lesuire.
emacs
ed
sed
awk
Now that's just to name a few. If you'd like document formatting then there is groff, the list goes on and on!
Okay, so I can be sarcastic. Anjuta or Kdevelop will be fine, just use them.
