I'm in > the correct way ;) Well, I'm not exactly a kernel hacker even if I did some minor driver work in the past, so don't rate my advice too high :) Anyhow, I lurk l-k regularly and most of the developing tools that appear in discussions among real kernel hackers appear to be the standard GNU tools. I did personally try out some of the open source IDE like sourcenav and kdevelop, but the raw size of the kernel code pushed them to or beyond their limits. That was a couple of years ago things may have changed. Other stuff that come to mind are: a decent mailer (Mozilla Mail should qualify :), a decent irc client, bk or if you prefer cvs. I saw ctags cited at times, but I didn't use it myself.
