Well for gtk+ programming maybe the best way to win is not to play, but 
like so many others I don't have a choice.  I doubt there's any IDE that 
can make that abomination of an API look good, but if you have a 
recommendation I'd be keen to hear it.

Agreed there may be better options for the specific C/gtk+/Gnome target, 
especially if you're running that on your dev environment too, but even 
there I think Eclipse has 'good enough' status.  I mean if you had to 
you could live with it, right?
