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IDE to work on C/++ code in general; if you get crashes, you can try to compile it yourself, most of the time it's outdated packages.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.

It depends on you. I mean, some devs like auto-completion and will use an IDE (Eclipse, Code::Blocks, Dec-C++, NetBeans ... GIYF !) whereas others will prefer good text editors with a simple console. Personally, I'm using Gedit with gnome-terminal, they provide both tabs; and VirtualBox with a share folder if I need to test a cross-compiled test. And that's enough for me.
This topic doesn't seem to be mentioned in the dev faq/guides on WineHQ.
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

True! I didn't want a heavy IDE nor a "complicated" console app. So i did all my Wine work (small and big changes) with Geany.

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)
