Visual Studio + XCode :p
On linux, some use KDevelop, some Emacs, some vim. Not sure if anyone is using Eclipse.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I've used Eclipse for a lot of Java development so might try to get the dvdplayer part of the source base working with CDT to finish off one last patch.
Eclipse is great because it can pretty much be run on any platform that has Java.
If anyone is interested in the Eclipse workspace settings once they are sorted show some interest in this thread.

I'm pretty sure either yuvalt or vulkanr commited eclipse CDT project files a few months back. Not that that make eclipse any less crappy :p vim + ctags is where it's at!

I would also recomend monodevelop, starts to shape up rather nice. But there is no projectfile for XBMC with monodevelop though.
gedit + makefiles for me

I would be interested in the files for Eclipse.
If i want to develop with Eclipse, how do I set it up to configure before build when testing? Also, can I build smaller parts of the project without building the entire thing?

I tried eclipse. It seemed too slow.
Though, kdevelop is not the best, but seems to be more responsive than eclipse.

I've got Eclipse CDT working with the XBMC source tree.
Mmmm, code completion for local and member variables, method calls etc. and all the options for refactoring like I was used to with Java, e.g. rename variable. Haven't tried any of the refactoring tools for real yet, but it all seems to be hooked together fine.
Not sure of the best way to share project files for the case someone else is interested.
I noticed there are some Eclipse files in the source tree, but they look specific to some Mac OS X development that is being done.
Setting it up was pretty straight forward. I've just created an "external tool" to run configure, and hooked in the main make file actions, e.g. make, distclean, clean, at the top level.
Not sure I'll bother trying to get it to the point that it could be debugged with breakpoints though, I'll only be doing some further small patches.
Eclipse is soooo much better for me than trying to trawl through a text editor trying to remember what classes various things are and what method calls etc there are for them. Makes using the global variables with the oodles of member variables they have much easier to understand/follow as well.
For those of you with commit privileges there's also the Subversive plugin to manage all of the stuff that's checked out as well.
If anyone's interested I can write some short notes about how I set it up.
