[gdal-dev] Pretty Much Off Topic: Development IDEs

[christian.mueller at nvoe.at]

Hi, I am also a fan of working in the command line. (vi is one of my friends)

I use eclipse which is very powerful. Most of the time I am doing  
Java, but I also used eclipse for programming python and there is  
support for C++/C too.

Java / python really makes your life easier. The only reason for  
working with C is performance for image operations, but most of them  
are already there and bindings for higher level languages are supported.

I also use ubuntu 10.04, so try a

apt-cache search eclipse

to see what is already there.
