The future isn't that bleak, though. For small/medium size C++ 
development using GCC and friends, there are the Code::Blocks 
(http://www.codeblocks.org) and Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net)IDE's.
If you are ambitious there is of course Eclipse 
(http://www.eclipse.org), which is  pretty much the standard these days. 
Eclipse is not unlike GnuEmacs in its ambition to provide a framework 
for just about any computing problem, perhaps even including those to 
which the answer might be 42.
