I am not much of a programmer, and I haven't used XCode, but
I don't think you will find anything comparable to XCode on Linux.
OS X is developed entirely by one company from top to bottom,
and it is guided by one man's vision. XCode is developed by the
same company.
"Linux", on the other hand, is a bundle of hundreds or thousands
of separate parts, all developed by different companies,
organizations, or individuals. Many of the components have the
same or overlapping goals. "Linux" is a huge, messy ecosystem
of software, and it would be just about impossible to create an
IDE that is to Linux as XCode is to OS X.
Anyway, besides the previously mentioned KDevelop, Eclipse
and NetBeans, there is Ajunta (Gnome), IntelliJ IDEA (proprietary,
costs $), JBuilder (costs $, built on Eclipse), and Komodo
(free and $ versions). There are others but those are some of
the most well known (also, each one of those does not
necessarily support all of [Java, Lisp, Perl]).
