Depends on what you are developing.  A yum search "integrated 
development environment" on Fedora 7 comes up with the following:

geany
eclipse
anjuta
kdevelop

Netbeans is also available.

Bluefish and Quanta are website - specific development tools.  I think 
there is an IDE for Mono as well.

If you're going to spend some time getting used to Emacs again and 
program in Java, there's the JDE (Java development environment) from 
http://jdee.sunsite.dk/.

I bounce back and forth between Netbeans and Eclipse for Java.  I like 
the interface with Eclipse a bit better, but I like the defaults and 
flexibility with Netbeans a bit better.

While you can develop C/C++ with the above IDEs, I've never tried this. 
  I've usually stayed with vi or emacs for non-Java languages.

The geany home page (http://geany.uvena.de/) has a nice writeup and may 
be just what you need to get started again.

The Eclipse IDE has plugins for a lot of environments, including Spring 
and JBoss.

Hope this helps.
