Semi-OT: Getting back into programming

[Joe Klemmer]

	Ok, as much as I hate C, I have made the decision to try and get back
into doing programming again.  It's been 10 years since I was a "real"
programmer, and that was COBOL on MVS (the first person to laugh get a
smack up side the head!)  I have gotten some very good books on C
programming and found a few web sites with tutorials and such, including
the GTK one.  My question now is what tool/IDE/environment to use.  I
currently have Code Crusader, CodeForge, Anjuta and, of course, the
vim/nedit with-lots-of-xterms IDE.  I also have Borland C++ Builder X
and KDevelop but they seem more for C++ than C, though I'm sure I could
do C with them.  The problem with the IDE's, other than the vim/nedit
option, is the steep learning curve they all have.  It's almost as much
to learn the IDE as it is the language.

	I would like to ask what others are using.  What is the preferred
method or tools of development being used by you guys?  I sm leaning
towards either Anjuta or the vim/nedit method but am not against using
something else.  It would be good to be as compatible as possible with
you guys.  I'm not against taking a few months to learn an IDE but I'd
rather learn one than all of them.

	Thanks and please make sure that if you reply to the list you also cc
me.  I'm so far behind on reading my lists that it'll probably take
months to just catch up.

TIA,
Joe
