My 2c...

I hate IDEs because they lock you in and hide stuff. Too often they force you 
to do things their way. The hiding is a pain because frequently you need to 
do just that little bit more than the IDE offers and you end up digging 
through proprietary ugly configuration stuff.

For me, first prize is:
Source Navigator: Code browsing and editing. The code browser handles all the 
cross references etc so you can hop around your code easily.

Command line make, ld etc  for building.

I think of an IDE as a Swiss Army knife. It is basically a bad to middling 
knife, a bad pair of scissors and a reasobnable corkscrew rolled into one 
easy to use tool. If you want a proper knife, scissors or corkscrew you don't 
use a Swiss Army knife.
