I've never understood the big advantage of this sort of IDE over doing
each of those things (edit, compile, run/test) in separate terminal
windows.  I have a syntax highlighting editor that runs in a terminal.

Again the *huge* advantage of running everything in terminal windows
running a (bash) shell is that one is using the same working
environment for everything, whether your compiling and testing code,
doing some housekeeping, checking E-Mails or whatever.

I use one editor everywhere and terminal windows running bash
everywhere.
