Moving development from Windows to Linux

Question

I'm a longtime Visual Studio(from versions 6 to 2008) user that really like the editor and especially the debugger. Now I'm thinking of giving Linux a go, is there a IDE with similar, or better, capabilities out there?

I'm also interested in recommendations for GUI libraries, c++ or c#.

Answer 1

http://monodevelop.com/ would be your closest bet for an editor similar to visual studio
