Chuck,
I agree with you that well written and commented C is the way to go.
The advantage to an IDE comes with debugging and easy access symbols and
variables.
Some IDEs can be convinced to use standard makefiles. I have used Eclipse that way. So
you still have fully buildable (and maintainable) code should an "upgrade" break
stuff or the tool becomes unavailable.
Eclipse is a a java dog and keeping it up to date between versions is a pain, but in my
experience the benefits Mike mentioned are well worth it.
