My two cents: I use gcc (like everybody) and my editor is Emacs
(which I like very much since ultraedit can't be modified by Lisp
macros :)
As for debugging, I use gdb from inside emacs---just type M-x gdb and
you're good to go. It does a nice enough work of showing you the
source in one panel while putting the gdb command line in the other.
It's not the Visual Studio debugger, but it is light years ahead
using gdb from the command line.
