GEdit if you want a GUIfied editor, vim otherwise. I can edit code so, so much faster in vim than I can in any GUI editor, no joke. I'm waiting for someone to release a vim-keys extension for Notepad++ so that I can edit my code on Windows faster in a tabbed editor, since I love everything else about Notepad++. You need build-essentials as well as gdb.

GUIfied editor? Could you post a screenshot of vim to show what you mean? I googled it and the image I found looked pretty "GUIfied" as far as I understand the term.
build-essentials is a package, just do sudo apt-get install build-essentials.
Correct. It includes gcc, g++, and the header packages that you'll need. Vim is a purely command-line/terminal editor, unless you're using something like gVim.

Ah, I see. Thank you very much ^_^
I think I will stick with GEdit for now. I've used it for dev stuff before and it works well enough for me.

That's fair, good luck. Make sure you save yourself time in the long run and make yourself Makefiles.

Elaborate? ^^;
[edit]Seriously, I don't get wtf makefiles are.

Is that a concern of yours? I spend more time thinking about my code than I do actually typing it, so accelerating the process doesn't really seem worth the effort (see also: why I haven't learnt to touch type "correctly", switched to a Dvorak layout or learnt shorthand).

I know I've banged on about it quite a bit, but you should at least tryProgrammer's Notepad instead of Notepad++. It uses the same text editor component (Scintilla) but the user interface is quite a bit less clunky and supports VIM-style editing in its command bar if you so desire:
Looks like I'm the only one playing for team emacs? Sad day...
<insert standard ctrl-alt-meta-walk-the-dog insult of emacs> Benryves, fine, I'll give it a try, no point rejecting it without having tried it.

Though I have really been meaning to learn how to use vim better, I still default to nano for cli editing and use geany for graphically editing on *nix. For windows I also use Notepad++, Programmers Notepad and Textpad just don't feel as comfortable to me.
EDIT: as for makefiles this is the one I use for TIUtils. Makefile
