Most alternatives do not resemble Microsoft's derivation of Borland's
IDE tools at all.

Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

I haven't seen the latest MSVS but I'd recommend Eclipse.

I use it on both linux & win systems to develop in vbs, sql, php and
java. The number of plugins is pretty impressive and you can usually
find a free one that will do what you want.

It's available on most OS's and beinag able to use multiple languages in
the one program is a bonus as you don't need to re-learn the tools.

You might be put off by its apparent simplicity but you can make it as
complex or simple as you want by choosing your plugins.

Looks like you are using eclipse already

I didn't realise SlickEdit was available as an Eclipse plugin.

They have (had?) a free version for download. But check the kylix groups
under newsgroups.borland.com. I think the future of kylix is uncertain...
