[NTLUG:Discuss] generic IDE

[Johnny Cybermyth]

Can anyone recommend a good generic IDE.  I'm programming embedded C and 
want to call my compiler from within the IDE and get all of the output 
back.    I also want file/buffer tabs for multiple file editing and the 
ability to open multiple file in a group(usually called a project or 
workspace).  Of course, I'd like syntax highlighting and intelligent 
indentation.  I don't need anything like gtk widget support or graphical 
interface generation support.  Just editing text files and producing a 
output hex file.

This is all normal IDE stuff, but I haven't found one that works for me 
yet.  Gedit doesn't support projects and the shell plugin just flat 
doesn't work.  SciTE is good in windows but the linux version doesn't 
support tabs and is very tedious to configure simple things like font size.

I was thinking about going back to emacs, but I thought that there would 
be a more modern solution out there.
