Don't want to start an editor war - but I saw "stuck with KWrite". You don't 
need to be stuck with KWrite. I use KWrite as other people use notepad - for 
the quick file browse or edit. If you're looking for something in between 
KWrite and an IDE for hours of editing then try jedit. Don't let the j fool 
you. I've used it for c dev at work for a couple of years now - on linux. A 
pretty impressive piece of software and it's even FOSS.
And now I better get off - this doesn't belong here.
