Try Emacs.

I mainly use vim, but as Porter suggested Emacs is good too.

If you need a full IDE, check out Kdevelop.

If you work in GUI enviropment, You will try a "JEdit" with "CodeBrowser" plugin. If you work in text base enviropment, You will try with "vi".

I like VIM, with this ~/.vimrc

:syntax on
:set nu

It sets syntax highlighting, and sets line numbering.

Hi Please user mcedit. It is the best editor. You feel like the turbo C editor as in Windows...

If you really want a full featured, blood and guts IDE you could try the C/C++ version of eclipse. It's java so be prepared for a high cost of ownership but some people like it. I prefer vi or even kwrite.
