I'd grab vim and a handy script or two from vim.sf.net, and you can run
circles around any IDE out there (and use it for all languages!).

I recommend taglist, sessmgr, EnhCommentify, and bufexplorer, but YMMV.

Another handy trick -- you are on a Windows box, and are editing on a
Unix/Linux box.  You love your GVIM  . . . . so use it!  You can edit
your file via ftp or scp . . . do a ":help ftp" to find out how.

The test is, sometimes there's no place to pull over - sometimes you   
can't stop, and you have to find a way to keep going.
