> - Visual Studio can compile with GNU/Linux C/C++ tools, gdb, linker etc

First VS Core, now VS proper. Impressive!

(going back to my ddd window on Linux, crying a bit inside).

A properly configured and well-curated collection of packages will yield an exceptional experience using emacs - if you're into that kind of thing. Add in some custom elisp and you're well on your way to a fully customizable development environment.

Are you talking about proper, legit Intellisense in Emacs? If so, I'm sold. More details?

I've been playing with NetBeans and it seems like a fairly reasonable C++ environment.

It is quite good, as it is the basis of Solaris IDE, just some features are missing.

KDevelop is also a very good C++ IDE for Linux.

CLion is pretty spiffy IMO, though it uses CMake as the underlying build tool which may or may-not be your thing (I prefer scons.. but nothing's perfect).
