Both Emacs and Vim have good syntax highlighting and overall development
support. Most people will be aware of the Emacs support, though the VIM
support is probably a little less well known. (Vim has a :make command,
which will work nicely if you have a Makefile.)
Speaking of Makefiles, they can be a bit intimidating. For starters, you
can use the attached simple makefile. You should check out the GNU Make
info documents for details.
