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.
