IDE for Wine Development?

[Evil Jay]

The small patches I've submitted previously have been very minor code
changes that I put together in a text editor.  But today I've been
perusing the available bug list, and see a couple of more ambitious
things I would like to try to tackle.

My question is:  Which IDE/editors do you "real" devs prefer for your
work on Wine?  This topic doesn't seem to be mentioned in the dev
faq/guides on WineHQ. I googled to see if others had asked before, but
if they did I must have not phrased my searches very well.

I've been playing with KDevelop 4.0.2 for the last hour.  It's
beautiful, but I haven't had the best experience with it:  It randomly
crashed 3 times within a short period of first using it.  Oddly, it's
not crashed since I restarted it from the command line so that I could
attempt to figure out what the problem is.

KDevelop is a great IDE to work on C/++ code in general; if you get
crashes, you can try to compile it yourself, most of the time it's
outdated packages. For small things I generally use Kate personally,
but I know most wine devs are emacs or vim addicts.

Again, I think it's because it really depends on your habits.
Do you prefer the assisted way with a wizard or something like that ? Or 
do you like the console and make all the steps yourself ?

NB: I don't belong to Codeweavers team : this is just my personal 
thoughts about the topic

Yeah, geany is pretty neat.
Although I find scite a good choice, especially with its simple "code
folding" feature (which you can't do in geany TMK)
