IDE for C application development that you admire most

I am looking for a good Integrated development environment for developing applictaions in C language for both windows and linux.

IDE should have:

• good interface,
• easy file management,
• auto filling and
• any advanced options.

Tell me which IDE you most admire for these tasks

1. For general PC application development
2. For embedded application development in C

If you think it is more specific question then you may also take it as a general case. Thanks in advance.

From stackoverflow

• For general PC development - Microsoft Visual Studio + VisualAssist

  For large-scale development you can hardly find anything better than Source Insight

  If you need a cross-platform IDE have a look at Eclipse CDT

  Gilad Naor : Second Source Insight. Excellent, if ugly, IDE.

  aku : yep ugly but very powerful, I just don't know any other IDE that can candle multi-millions LOC C/C++ projects

  Vilx- : Second Visual Studio. Haven't seen any multi-million LOC projects though. :P

  aku : I was involved in development of Motorola P2k operating system - few millions LOC, I just don't know how to handle project of this size without Source Insight (though, someone used vim for that :) )

  Ilya : yep vim and makefiles best choice :) number of LOC unlimited :)

• For both purposes I'd suggest Eclipse.

• Apart from TextMate on OS X which is more a very featurefull text editor, I'd say NetBeans or Eclipse.

  EDIT: yes, if you have a mac, you can do PC development with VMWare/Paralles as easily as you would in a "real" PC and you get OS X as a bonus.

• I'd say Eclipse is the best choice. Eclipse page

• Check out Code::Blocks, it's pretty good, does C, and is available for Windows and Linux as requested.

• Even if it was developed for JAVA first, I like the NetBeans IDE because it has some nice features and it knows about C, too.

  CVS/SVN Plugins are available.

  Alex Baranosky : NEtBeans would be sooooo much better if it wasn't soooooo slow

  Peter : It got a little better (especially the startup) with Version 6.5

  Lazer : @Peter, @Alex Baranosky: Is "speed" the only reason why people prefer Eclipse over NetBeans? I have been using NetBeans for long, and I am surprised to find (for example on this particular question) that people only recommend Eclipse.

• I'd describe Visual Studio as the most feature rich and comfortable place to be when writing and debugging code, but it has a narrow target audience - Windows developers.

  As others have said, Eclipse is probably your best bet, The large array of available plugins come in handy too. For example, if you want to move to a new source code repository, the chances are there's an Eclipse plugin already written for it. You don't have that luxury with most other IDEs.

• Emacs

  dmckee : Too easy. And not strictly true. And not what Manoj was looking for. ::snigger::

• SlickEdit is nice cross-platform IDE with autocomplition, macroses, various text editors emulation mode, refactoring capabilities etc... Commercial though.

• Well when I'm working with C I use Vim, with the right plugins I find it to be the best IDE for C around. It takes a little bit of practice to get used to it but once you do you'll just be flying around your files.

  frgtn : Could you list some plug-ins you find most useful?

• There's some good advice on C IDEs here as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28605/c-on-visual-studio

  I asked about using C in Visual Studio but the answers contain suggestions on a variety of IDEs
