Pick an editor; emacs or vim, or something. I know emacs has hooks to
compilers, debuggers, and source code control systems; editing modes
specific to various languages and file formats, etc. I imagine vim
can do as well or better (ymmv). Build yourself a toolset. Whatever
you end up with will likely work every bit as well on whichever
language you fall in love with next week. And by the way, vim/gvim is
not the crufty old boring editor you may remember. Xemacs, ditto.
You don't have to rely on monolithic, highly specific apps in Linux.
You get to choose your environment; the one that works for you, and
the one that you don't have to learn all over again next week.
