Well, I use emacs for POV-Ray. Aside from not having pretty graphical buttons,
it's probably one of the best full-featured IDE's available. I also use it at
work for C, C++, Java...

And it's not like my company can't afford other tools.  :-)

JDE for doing Java in emacs is quite nice:

But the main thing is that JDE's quick tour
http://jde.sunsite.dk/quicktour.html and it's users' guide
http://jde.sunsite.dk/jdedoc/html/jde-ug/jde-ug.html let you see a little what
one school of Unix/Linux users like.

Of course, there are more 'traditional' looking IDE's for Unix, but I find
Emacs fastest for my development.

Well, actually, that kind of points out the general feel that people who use
Unix are all very different, and like to do things how they work for them, and
like the freedom to do so.
