I've always used Qt on the ts7800, with QtCreator 2 I moved over from Eclipse and have been loving it. Naturally this is unlikely to be the direction you choose as you'll consider pushing people to use a particular library to be awkward but I think it is an awesome solution. Mainly as many people when they get the Eclipse environment out of the box that TS provide they then look for a library to bring the environment up to modern standards, Qt does that.

I agree with several others that development is best done in text
editors and compiling on the board itself using a makefile. FWIW my
setup is Kate (I have a "session" saved for each project), and I
have a konsole up with the rsync command that I just hit up enter
periodically to transfer the source (using public key SSH so I don't
have to type the password), then a couple konsoles open with ssh
into the board to run make/gdb/etc. Kate has syntax highlighting,
word-completion, CTag integration (which I don't really use), and
several other common things you'd find in an IDE. It also has a
console window that you can open and hide that I use for easy
reference of man pages and such. As a matter of fact I could just
skip the rsync and edit the source right on the board by opening the
source over FiSH but I like to have a local copy... We currently use
the 7553 and 7800 and this is the way I develop all of my various
projects, even non-embedded... 2 of my coworkers try to use eclipse
and fumble around trying to get it to even work, one is considering
switching to netbeans... I find them both a frustrating waste of
time compared to oldschool methods, even the "updated" ones like I
use.

As many of you know we currently provide the Eclipse IDE
configured with our toolchains for the various boards.
We're looking to improve how this is supported and to
update the IDE package for our newer boards but we are
also exploring other IDEs as an alternative. I've talked
to a number of customers who seem to strongly prefer
Code::Blocks or Netbeans. I'm curious to hear opinions
from those who have worked with these or other relevant
IDEs themselves.
Here are the various IDE's I've been evaluating:
Code::Blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/
Netbeans: http://netbeans.org/
Codelite: http://www.codelite.org/
Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/
If anyone else has any open cross platform IDEs to
recommend we'd certainly be interested in those as well.
I'm currently leaning towards Code::Blocks as it seems
like it would lend itself to the simplest configuration
while still supporting the most features. They also seem
to have a community around using the IDE with embedded
systems. However if most of you prefer Eclipse there are
a few improvements we can add to this package to make
usage easier. Specifically I'd like to add templates for
our boards rather than just sample the projects that show
how to use the cross compilers.
