Since I need something that works the same on Linux, Windows and Mac, I was 
using Eclipse for a while. It's good, and the new C++ parser and refactoring 
support in CDT5 is nice, but it's a big and unwieldy beast. I tried KDevelop4 
on Linux and Mac, until they introduced a dependency on kdebase/workspace, 
which killed the Mac build. It seemed very promising, up to that point. Once 
it's reliably available on all three platforms I need, I'll check it out 
again. 

For the moment I'm using QtCreator, which works out surprisingly (to me, at 
least) well. It's C++/Qt support is nice, if not as great as KDevelop4's and 
obviously the Qt integration is perfect. It does git, subversion, qmake and 
cmake, which covers my bases. I have kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase, kdepimlibs 
and kdepim projects in a KDE session and it's plenty fast with all that loaded 
at the same time. And it actually does work the same on all three platforms, 
which is a big plus in my day to day work. No, Matthias did not pay me to say 
this, nor did he bribe me with beers, shoes or promises of big projects. ;)

That said, I still use vim as well, mostly when semi-automatic text 
manipulation is needed.
