I'm using Codeblocks to work on code, and then compile it under cygwin. I've been using the search command a lot, and I had gotten the text part ("slash", "slashes"). My mistake was not running a search through spells.h.
I'm using netbeans, we use SVN with our MUD and it has just a great simple interface with it. Also the visual diff comparison is extremely useful. And guess how much it costs... FREE!
Sublime-2 comes recommended by our friend Ripley, if you use it on a personal-level it is also free.
I was actually thinking of using Unix, though I need to get my box working again if I'm to do that. The problem is, I don't really know how to use Unix at all. Cygwin does pretty good, but I've had issues with something not working right (i.e. trying to put in Vatiken's crafting system in).
