There aren't any mature IDEs from Linux (apart from Emacs, which is
hardly user-friendly). Such things run counter to the Unix philosophy
of achieving complex goals through the use of a combination of simple
tools that perform a single task well.

There are some excellent graphical debuggers though - DDD is my
favourite: http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/softech/ddd/ddd.html
