Why do you refuse emacs and vi(m)? They both provide syntax highlighting for hundreds of languages and a built-in debugger. (At least, it's built-in from the user's perspective, but by being not actually builtin you get get far more flexibility). I don't know what you mean by "contain all libraries" nor precisely what you mean by "drop down command choice", but you certainly get auto-completion, commands, help, etc in a drop down menu. (I'm really only speaking for vim here, but I assume emacs provides all of this functionality as well.) I guess I'm suggesting that you seriously question why you are rejecting out of hand the two best choices for development on Linux.
