 KDevelop is an IDE similar to the ones you are probably used to.  It has a
GUI app generator that will create SDI and MDI apps to jump-start your
development.  It has a code editor, so you don't need to use vi or emacs.

You are never stuck with a choice between vi and emacs.  An editor that is
popular with folks moving from M$ is nedit.  I like an editor called jed...
 and another one called joe.  Both are friendly to folks who are familear
with editors like DOS' edit and qedit.
