vim/gvim are good

kdevelop (www.kdevelop.org) ROX :) supports KDE, QT, Gnome, plain C and C++ development..(it has to be tried to be belived)...  I've heard good things about Komodo (http://www.activestate.com/Products/Enterprise/ASPN_Komodo/) for perl &python development though I haven't used it myself..
Freshmeat has many listings:

Hope this helps,
