I use SlickEdit, which some people regard as IDE, though the SlickEdit developers themselves insist on calling it a text editor because it doesn't require you to create a project before you are able to edit files. I'm probably biased since I used to work for them, but from a variety of IDEs and IDE-like text editors I've tried, SlickEdit is the only one that can handle C++ projects the size of OOo. Eclipse comes close, but its handling of C++ is rather limited, and it takes a long time for it to start up. Oh BTW, SlickEdit can tag source files inside, say, sw in less than a minute or a few minutes depending on the speed of your machine. But there is still a reason why you may want to create a solution file for Visual Studio even if you don't use it for hacking. Many developers use whatever IDE's or text editors they have faith in, and use Visual Studio just for building the project on Windows.
