what do you think which is the best programming GUI for linux??
 

i deal with Kylix 3 but its has much more problem ??

so tel me what yu think which is the best IDE??
or GUI for programming linux??

tell us why also

jEdit - it's platform independent, supports java compilation and maintenance.

Sure you need some plugins to make it an IDE, but it's quick and responsive, and can be adapted to manage any project.

At the same time, i don't like IDE's like KDevelop because everything is there already, with jEdit i can customize what features i want, and for the most part, where i want them. Also, i develop in Java so wherever the editor and it's plugins go and run, my own software will.

I'm new to programming (other than bash) and I actually prefer VI :)

Why? Because of the syntax highlighting :)

interesting. i can't get my head around vi. i got mildly used to it at one stage, and then after not using it for 4 or 5 month, forgot again how to use it. i have a manual for it somewhere, but i like GUIs, though emacs ain't bad.

jEdit does the whole highlighting thing as well. same with emacs, infact it seems most GUI based editors do it. goes to show, linux was made for programmers.

I generally use VIM for everything, but when I fancy a real GUI experience from
my IDE I use Bluefish which handles
html as well as syntax highlighting for shell, C, C++ amongst others.

But VIM owns all :)

tried Bluefish, found that really good aswell :)

You can try Magic C++
 

You can try Magic C++.

It's a handy tool for developing C/C++ on remote unix/linux based servers. that is, if you prefer to work in windows ( I do, so.)

emacs is the best ........nothing else

emacs is good ... especially when using over ssh.

But it's everything and IDE could be and the kitchen sink (and dog kennel)

I use Kate, it has the highlights for C++ and you can open a terminal to compile and debug programs and line numbers. I have plans to learn emacs though, just because I've heard so much about it. :)

I wouldn't run jEdit on anything slower than 800Mhz or so. I ran it on a 233Mhz and it took more than 3 minutes to start up and was extremely unresponsive. I use vim because I don't have X most of the time. But please let's not start a vi vs. emacs debate. :'(

out of curiosity, found the download site for magic c++

http://www.magicunix.com/download.html


just had a test run with it. it was fairly cool. I'm not a religious emacs fan, so was pleasantly surprised by its ease of use and user friendliness ( very MS VC like) , especially to ppl who used to develop on windows. Has more fancy features than jEdit.

Well then.........I think I will have a peek at that myself thank for the link :)

As with all Java programs running on a JVM, the program runs
much faster after you've used it for a minute or two. After that, it's
great.
