A good programming IDE?

I've been working in Microsoft Visual C++ Express for all of my (bad)programming. However, I don't want to tie myself down to using 1 programming environment. I've heard of a bunch of different free IDEs, but what do you guys recommend.
I'd probably still consider myself new to this, so anything that doesn't have a monster interface would work well.

If it is Java, then I very much prefer Eclipse.
If it has anything to do with .NET then Visual studio is the best IDE out there.
Regarding C++ then I have only used bloodshed Dev-C++. It is pretty good, but I am unaware if there are even better alternatives out there.

It depends on what your focus is. If you plan on sticking with Windows Development then stick with a Microsoft IDE; otherwise look into the open source IDEs mentioned above.
As a C++/C# Windows Developer myself who has also touched many open source projects I can honestly say without a doubt no IDE even comes close to the functionality of Visual Studio 2010. But, if you are working on Linux, etc development then it's best to focus on learning the ins and outs of one of the open source IDEs mentioned above.
Overall. .NET 4.0 Functionality is amazing-

I totally agree with you on the Visual Studio IDE for C++/C# but why the hate for eclipse? Lack of drag and drop interface design? If so there are some good free addins for it to allow that. Just kinda curious why the Eclipse hate.

Netbeans ftw nowadays, will see how much development progress it gets with Oracle as responsible party.

This, more or less. That and I am incredibly lazy and would rather not search for the packages I need to obtain similar functionality.

I can understand that but Eclipse Downloads But I understand your aversion since I agree this is one thing Microsoft got right. Visual Studio is the best IDE I have worked with.

Visual Studio is quite a good IDE for me to work with. It's better rather than installing C#, C++, J# or whatsoever in its separate packages. But, yeah it's costly if you would by the genuine one D:

Alright, I'll give Netbeans a go, my professor recommended it too. Thanks for the input guys, appreciate the advice.

Visual Studio is the best for C#, Visual C++ and other .Net languages. If you are working Java, Python or Ruby so you can use NetBeans. It is the best option for it. So it is totally depend on you which type of programming language you are using.

A little off topic on this one, but I'm curious. Is anyone here a C# programmer, I curious to know your opinions on the language, I've personally done absolutely nothing in the language, but have heard a lot about people using it to develop games in XNA Studio and such.
