Personally, I'm more than happy with XEmacs, a few homebrew scripts to 
automate some of the process, and the good ol' makefile.

But in terms of true development environments, I'd highly recommend 
Eclipse.  If you haven't heard, Eclipse is a highly extensible 
development environment originally devloped by IBM, who gave it to the 
FOSS community.  There's a slew of plugins out there, from a standard C 
environment with syntax highlighting to an Acme architecture 
modeling/visualization environment.  In addition, plugin 
development/extension is pretty easy.
