Best crossplatform C++/QT4 development environment

I would like to develop cross-platform applications using C++ and QT4. I code on both Linux and Windows (MinGW).

Currently I'm using KDevelop and it's QMake integration. On Windows I'm trying out Eclipse with QT integration plugin. However moving sources and updating profiles/IDE project files on both systems is tedious.

I'm looking into using CMake as it can generate Makefiles, KDevelop project files and Eclipse project files.

What's your opinion? What are you using for such kind of development?

What about QtCreator? It's still in beta but it's very light and it's really a joy to code with it.

I've been using the new QtCreator and like it so far. Still beta though and may be missing a few tools or features that you need. QtDesigner is integrated with it. It uses QMake project (.pro) files behind the scenes, so you or other programmers can just use those directly on the command line (qmake and make) along with their favorite text editor if they don't want or can't use an IDE at some point. http://trolltech.com/developer/qt-creator
