I've never used Visual Studio, so I can't compare them, but Eclipse is pretty good, and it comes with a ton of plugins for a variety of development environments.

It usually comes as part of the distro's software repository as well, so it's pretty easy to get.

Thanks!

Eclipse runs on Windows as well as Linux; that’s a good thing for me.

Not sure what the GNU/netbeans thing is.
