Developing environments used for kernel development

[danielhilst@gmail.com (Daniel.)]

Hey Jeff, thanks for the reply, what I realy don't like in IDEs is tying
building and editing at same tool. I'm a simple guy so I like to keep
things simple. I never heard of anybody using IDE's for building C code in
linux.

I'm considering back to vim since emacs indenting is making me crazy
