You don't have to use `a' text editor, you can use Emacs :-)
It's C/C++-mode is pretty neat (highlighting, formatting
support, and *many* more things) and you can run gdb (the
GNU debugger) as a subprocess plus many Emacs goodies like
dynamic abbrevs, ediff, and stuff.  What else do you need?

Cheers,

Manuel
