I think this is the right forum for this type of question as opposed to the C++ forum.
I'm learning C++ via Windows Vista, console stuff, at the moment. I've also got Ubunto installed and trying to figure out which programs I need in order to write simple console type C++ applications. I'm relatively new to Linux so easy step by step guidelines would be nice.
For graphical text editors on Linux, I highly recommend Geany, which is a "lightweight" IDE and is exactly what it says. Its not very bloated at all but has the most helpful features of IDEs such as code completion and custom compiler/interpreter integration. Otherwise, I might also recommend Vim if your planning on using the command line but (WARNING) it DOES have a HUGE learning curve. If you insist on using the command line for your work but want something much easier, I'd recommend checking out GNU Nano.
1. It's extensible and configurable. Emacs Lisp (or Elisp) is extremely powerful. In fact, most of emacs is written in Elisp.
2. It provides a uniform environment. Emacs integrates the entire process of writing, compiling, and debugging into one seamless interface.
3. It's versatile. Emacs can be used as a diary, planner, calender, telnet client, MUD client, bash shell (eshell), irc client, and much much more.
