I've tried WipeOut and this seems to be a decent one but you have to pay for
the "ctags" portion of it right? What does everybody use to develop in C and
Linux? I'm using vim right now and it just seems rediculous to type in so much
stuff to do basic editing...can someone send me a good .vimrc that has all
sorts of short cuts or something? I'm checking out xemacs right now since that
seems to be the most bang for your buck...

Basically what I've found is that the best debugger seems to be DDD, the best
editor is still up in the air, and there is no de-facto standard of an IDE like
VC++ or Borland.

I guess what I'd like is to be able to write code with syntax highlighting, be
able to compile, if there is an error then double-click on that error and be
taken back to the source line where that error occured and fix it and so on.
Then when debugging have EASY watches, show linked lists etc (which DDD seems
to nicely do). Is there any one package (for free :-) ) that does this all or
do I have to find the best of the best and use them all seperatly?

Thanks,
Chris
