There's Eclipse+CDT, like Yigal mentioned. Although I haven't used it or 
examined it in-depth recently, I think it has advanced a lot in the last 
years, and is on-par, if not better, that VS. Configuring a compiler 
might not be as easy as VS, since CDT doesn't come bundled with one, but 
on semantic features (code completion, open/find references, 
refactoring) it seems to be much better than VS is. Dunno about debugging.
IntelliJ is also pretty good, but it's a paid IDE.

But really, for the point I was making (productivity of simple tools vs. 
IDEs), it did still apply with many other IDEs, like VS, KDev, etc.. I 
wasn't thinking of Eclipse alone.
