I suspect that a large percentage of C and C++ developers also have experience
with more than one IDE, based on the very unscientific sample of those I've
met. Necessity is a mother - those who program for a living run into exotic
platforms a lot, such as embedded systems. Perforce one uses the editors
available, whether preferred or not.

I aver that it's useful to follow the suggestions folks have made here,
especially to use a few different IDEs for yourself. I've been using both
NetBeans and Eclipse and its offspring more or less concurrently for years.
Whichever one prefers, they have both been quite useful and powerful tools.
Each teaches you something. (Zen-like detachment, in the case of Eclipse.)

The same should be said of programming languages. Don't know only Java.
Don't even be very good in only Java.
