I'm using a quite simple text editor (NEdit) which has syntax 
highlighting (regexp based) and a C-like macro language. I write my 
Makefiles with a text editor too and I use CVS from the command line or 
through cervisia (CVS frontend).

My C programs/projects are all small enough for this approach. A 
complete IDE would be overkill.

A good IDE should give you several variables for a filename. With or 
without path and with or without extension at least. IIRC even 
Ultraedit has those variations.

But wasn't ecplipse an IDE framework where you can write your own 
plugins to extend it's functionality!?
