I've started playing around with KDevelop (http://kdevelop.kde.org/) or maybe 
Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/).  I believe it is OS Agnostic.

I have only some minor experience with the various IDEs (including M$ which is 
outside my price interest) since for most of my coding I just utilize VIM and 
the builtin syntax highlighting or Notepad.
