It depends on what I am working on. If I am writing some stupid GUI in VB, or something in matlab, etc. - well yeah, may as well use the IDE. For my projects at home (and when I was in school) I tend to use gedit with a couple of plugins (nothing lang. specific though) - typically working in c, c++, python, bash. Sometimes I use vim and for a while I was using emacs for the gdb integration. I think if I did more remote work I would probably just live in vim.
