GNU Emacs is able to function as an entire integrated development, 
particularly when your project uses the GNU autotools.  There are add-ons for 
it that add functionality such as jumping to function definitions and working 
with the project as a whole.  It is, at its core, a text editor, but it does 
many, many more things; it can even function as an email or Usenet client, or 
a Web browser.

I use Emacs for 99% of my programming; it supports shell scripting, Vala, C, 
C++, C#, Java, Python... and much more.  Some are built-in, and others you 
have to search the Web to find; generally a query of "$LANGUAGE mode" will 
help you greatly.  For example, for Vala, go to Google and search for "vala 
mode", and you'll find a script for Emacs that will let you work very nicely 
with Vala code.
