what editor to use?

[everid]

Hi guys,
I've been using emacs for a while but didn't figure out how to auto complete a long function name like in Microsoft VC++.
Is there a way to auto complete the typing in emacs?
or more generally, which editor do you recommend? which one do you think is the best to use?

what about kdevelop??

I use 'vim' editor for two year and never feel any inconvenienced.

Eclipse or Netbeans or Anjuta(sp?) are pretty good if you're coming from Visual Studio. I've been stoked on Eclipse.

emacs is fine...C++ is text, you should learn to understand it alone without relying on an IDE.

I like to use Eclipse. Works great and no need to mess with makefiles.

Ahem... as to the OP's first question... :->

I don't use emacs myself, but I'm sure there are scripts (plugins) to do that kind of thing.

You might want to peruse the EmacsWiki
http://www.emacswiki.org/

Good luck!

[edit]
BTW. I currently use my Delphi 5 IDE for everything -- that is until I finish my own editor. :-]

I would suggest AnjutaIDE...
Open shell...
sudo apt-get install anjuta
