If one is doing developmental work on a GUI application, it
might also be handy to have a GUI-based interface design tool
such as Qt Designer or Glade.

I don't intend to start a flame war here. I agree that using a good programmer's
editor with other tools can handle a lot of tasks that are a notch below the top
of the IDE range. Many programmer's editors allow tacking on outside commands,
including scripts.
I started using a programmer's editor in 1998 called Nedit. It does syntax-based
color highlighting, arbitrary rectangular cut and paste, large files, and a lot
of other things that were handy to me back then. The drawback is that it
requires Motif/Lesstif, a GUI spec used in CDE - not common today, but up and
coming back then. Motif is owned by Open Group. And Nedit is cross-platform. You
can try it out on Windows. www.nedit.org
I have not taken a look at other programmer's editors in ages, so I don't know
how it compares today. Motif would not be as important today as the license it
is offered under. Being broadly cross-platform on the range of UNIX platforms
that supported it back then was also important. YMMV.
