IDE of Choice

TechSY730:
I am just curious about what IDE people like to use, or if they even use them. (I know of some people who do text files and command line only)

Me personally? I use Eclipse. One of the best Java IDEs, great support for other languages, and highly configurable. Sadly, no one has written a good C# IDE for the Eclipse platform, so for .NET stuff, I use MonoDevelop (though there is probably something better).

x4000:
Visual Studio 2008 here.  IMO no better IDE around, though Eclipse is what I use for Java (not that I do much of that these days).

Hearteater:
Have you tried 2010?

And have you ever used Net Beans for Java.  I find I'm really spoiled by Net Bean's auto-fix options for correcting code.  I really want VS to be able to figure out using statements for me and auto-generate interface methods I need to implement.  I think I just find Net Beans more intuitive to use over all.

x4000:
Never have used net beans or VS 2010.  But I've heard good things about both.

Hearteater:
Net Beans was surprisingly pleasant to use.  I had been using Eclipse prior to that, and I don't think I'd work on Java in Eclipse again unless it has change greatly in the last two years.

Upgrading from VS 2005 to VS 2010 was also pretty painless, so I'd guess going from 2008 shouldn't be that bad should you decide to take that step :) .
