Pretty new to Linux, but I'm curious what is the best GUI code editor out there? Especially looking for one that you can open all the C/H/.py files in and can do find/replace across all the open files available. Basically looking for something with the functionality of MS Visual suite. Any ideas? Even better if its offered as a package on PCLinuxOS 2007. |

The big IDEs are Eclipse and NetBeans. They are both free and Open Source and work well. Both have very capable base packages, but can be extended through the use of plug-ins. I personally prefer Eclipse, but both are good.
If you just want a simple code editor that can do global searches and replaces, you may also want to look at jEdit. It is a very simple code editor, but I often prefer it to the more bloated IDEs. Most distros will have it in their repos and if not, it is a simple install. Of course, you could also use vim or Emacs
