A glowing recommendation, indeed.

To me, a decent editor that does
syntax high-lighting (vim or emacs and others are very capable in this
regard), a couple of xterms, make and gdb (or ddd), are all the IDE one
needs. Probably the older people (of which I am becoming) will say this,
and the younger people, who grew up with IDEs will be horrified.

I guess I must be one of the older people, too, as my standard DIDE
(dis-integrated development environment) consists of several xterms
running vim (or other tools as needed), plus a web browser for looking
up any extra information I may need.
