ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

you can select a template in KDevelop to do what you want and it also has a terminal within it but I'd also agree that for a hello world type program you don't really need an IDE just an editor.
I have try to test many of the IDE in this list, but I have found that many of this editor have no activity from more than two years, in some case more than four years....
So, maybe is useful to create a new column in this list that report the year of the last update, so the readers can put his attention on the last recents projects.
If is useful I can post this list updated with this information.....
Scribes came in dead last on the recent Application of the Year, Text Editor poll ... and that is a travesty. Maybe one of these days, I'll get around to writing a complete review.
I don't do much programming, but I've used it for editing HTML and PERL, and it has a lot to offer programmers. Runs on Gnome, so KDE exclusivists would have to accept quite a few libraries, etc. to install it. I like it so much for normal text work that I've fought through the process of making it the default editor on my Gnome system. (The Gnome folks are mighty attached to Gedit.)
This is the list of functions that the author saw fit to post on the website:

What Can Scribes Do?
* Extensible via Python plugins
* Remote editing (ftp, sftp, ssh, samba, webdav, webdavs)
* Snippets!
* Automatic word completion
* Automatic correction and replacement
* Automatic pair character completion and smart insertion
* Automatic indentation
* Powerful text processing and manipulation functions
* Bookmarks and smart navigation
* Document Switcher
* Syntax colors for over 30 languages
* and much more...
Like any worthy application, it has some idiosyncrasies that take a bit of getting used to. Most notably for me, it auto-saves. There is no "Save" Menu item, only "Save As..." in case you want to change the name. If you close a file without assigning a name, it leaves the "Unsaved Document" on your desktop.
It has the best Dictionary feature I've ever seen for "suggesting alternative spellings."
It's in the Debian repositories, and I would assume in those of other distros, as well.
This thread reminded me of something and I just had to post it here.
There are so many IDE's, just like there are so many rings in JRR Tolkiens Lord of the Rings.
Then I thought of "one to rule them all" and I immediatly thought of Micro$ofts Visual Studio. Then I laughed for about 2 mins straight.
Distribution: Fedora (workstations), CentOS (servers), Arch, Mint, Ubuntu, and a few more.

Rep:
NetBeans now have first class Ruby (and Ruby on Rails) support. It's listed as a main feature. You can include Ruby as a supported language in NetBeans.
This is a really helpful post. Now, if anyone is in doubt about any software that they need/can use - all they need to do is come here and check it out.
This is a great idea; many people seek information about this subject. (This thread should be sticky on the programming forum.) I have some additions for your list:
