Makefiles and scripting work, vi/vim. Although I may move to NetBeans  
gradually,
with the C/C++ plugin, it does a reasonable job when editing scripts  
and makefiles.

For Java code, NetBeans, even without a NetBeans project setup,  
NetBeans editing of
Java source is the easiest for me. I create projects as I go.

C code, used vi in the past, but will be moving to NetBeans the next  
time I need
to work on it, but it's been a long time since I worked on any C code.

Ah... Java code... NetBeans.  If NetBeans can't handle the new  
language features,
I would be heart broken. :^(
