You make it sound as if GCC and Eclipse were something equivalent!

GCC is a compiler. Eclipse is a GUI environmnet for doing the standard
edit/compile/run/debug cycle. I believe in most cases Eclipse, under the
hood, uses gcc to do the compile part, and uses gdb for the debug part.

Personally I find using a standard editor (vi or emacs), understanding gcc
and make, and gdb preferable to having it all hidden by an IDE.
If you are going to build and install other software you are going to have
tp understand these things anyway.
