C programing suites/IDEs [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
What IDEs are available for Ubuntu?

I know that asking for something like Visual Studio is too much but something that will let me write, debug and compile in a GUI instead of the command line is good enough for me. (Not that I'm lazy, but I don't have time to learn the necessary commands...)

  4. MonoDevelop Install monodevelop

    If you like Visual Studio, you will certainly like MonoDevelop. You can find it in the software center. You can even write .NET apps with it if you want to (like C# as you can see in the screenshot), but I suggest you don't ;)

  9. Emacs

    Emacs allows you to compile and debug inside the GUI. With CEDET package, it has got nice code completion for C and C++ projects. Color theme will give nice themes and syntax coloring for the source code. Emacs can be customized heavily using the e-lisp.

    Emacs running with CEDET and color theme showing code completion.

    Also refer to Ubuntu Community Help Wiki for EmacsHowto.

  10. KDevelop Install kdevelop

    I very highly recommend KDevelop. It's a KDE program (cough KDE > gnome =P), but it will work under gnome. It's like a color explosion. Pretty much every single variable, class, method, language construct, etc has a different color. Not just local variables one color, global another etc. Every local variable will have a different color from each other.

    It also integrates with cmake extremely well and is generally a great IDE to work with. I really wish there was a java and/or python plugin for it.
