OK, Gnome and KDE aside, what other IDE's do you like to use?
I like LXDE. (At first I thought it meant "Linux Desktop Environment").
But its like a less bloated, lightweight version of KDE. biggrin
Just wish Ubuntu would modify it a little, like they do with XFCE, KDE, and GNOME.

My primary window manager is Fluxbox. I also enjoy using wmii. Awesome is showing a lot of promise but it's not quite "done" yet and I'm not strong enough with Lua to use it in it's current state.

I don't like traditional "Desktop Environments". Which are abbreviated DE, not IDE. But since you brought it up, my Integrated Development Environment of choice is Vim (with a dash of Netbeans when I'm writing in Java).

Fluxbox. First time I saw it was when I first tried Ophcrack, and I really loved its simplicity. I even used to run Litestep, which is like Fluxbox for Windows. I tried to get it running under Ubuntu, but I haven't been successful so far sweatdrop

XFCE, Fluxbox, and Enlightenment are the three I use the most XFCE and Enlightenment more because my server is currently running and X session with XFCE and my phone, running SHR-Unstable with the 2.6.29 Kernel, runs Enlightenment.

Openbox. Takes a lot longer to configure, but its well worth it for the lightness, and clean look.

I really love Flux box because of it's minimalistic feel, but when I install it on my puppy linux I always have a problem with my wallpaper and menu settings. So I'm sticking with JWM biggrin

I've been using KDE-4.2 for a while now. I've been really happy with it. It's a lot lighter-weight than KDE-3.5 ever was.

But if I need something lighter, I usually end up using Xmonad these days. smile

Personally, I am a Gnome and LXDE fan. XFCE is OK, but I am not a fan of KDE. KDE is fine and all, but not my taste of a GUI.

When it comes down to working, I prefer the command line and so I use more of openbox / awesome2
