hm. windows isn't the only system, people.
pico, emacs and vi are code/text/file editors in linux and unix.
pico is a lot like notepad (except through shell) where as vi and emacs are more hardcore development editors (i hesitate to call them "ide's") - emacs allows for syntax highlighting (which i like) and it's a bit easier to use than vi. vi can be daunting for new users...since you have to know the commands by heart before getting any use out of the program.
i would say, just stick with pico if you are using shell editors. it's faster and quite a bit easier.
if you have access to a wm, then i'd say use kate for your editor...it also provides syntax highlighting and i believe you can link compilers through the ide in order to streamline development (of c/c++, etc).
